Spurs announce Kawhi out indefinitely

[Chinook]

People ing about Kawhi's minutes restriction are amazing. Clearly, it lingered for so long because it WASN'T getting better. I was totally on board with the criticism back when it looked like Kawhi was healthy, but it doesn't make sense now, especially if Leonard is upset that the team was cautious enough about him.

Kawhi will be back the first game after the all star break against the Denver Nuggets. You heard it here first. Guaranteed.

People just to . They thought he was ready to play consecutive games not knowing Kawhi clearly wasn't himself. It's always nice when the facts come out to prove them wrong, tho they typically just jump to the next item on the list

Dejounte posted this pic on IG but then deleted it. Seen that Kawhi was in his game-gear and not wearing street clothes on the bench in last 2 games it could be that he is near a return, even possibly before ASG.

Just hope THEY/HE are not rushing it. It would be inexcusable and pathetic amateurism at this point if he comes back only to still be in-and-out of the lineup and on minutes restriction.

I bet he posted it just to show a pic of Kawhi mentoring him and didn't realize people would start trying to assume it's a cryptic post about Kawhi returning then deleted it. Imo

By “people” and “they” you mean the Kawhi s who believe he’s God’s gift and any negativity associated with him must be outside of his control and the fault of the organization because he’s perfect. The same idiots that about him leaving. Most reasonable Spurs fans understand the premise of minutes restriction. It’s just when you’re an idolator and your hero isn’t bulletproof you melt down and assume the victim role.

They are not ing about him leaving. They are actually rooting for him to leave. These idiots would be angry if Kawhi re-signed with the Spurs.

Looking at the schedule above, if he Kawhi isn't ready to go by Feb 28th--first game after RTT for a softish 3-game home-stand-- I don't see the point of playing him again this season..

Sorry if anything like this has already been posted but I haven't been able to read the board in a few days and have just a few minutes to post before I have to pretend to work...

Dallas radio host, who is a big spurs fan, just said he spoke to a source he has with in the spurs. This is what he was told about the kawhi injury

- There is serious angst amongst the spurs and kawhi over the injury. Kawhi feels the spurs mishandled the injury last year and is now using his own doctors for treatment

- Because he's not using team doctors the spurs have been silent about him bc they don't have much information themselves and are kinda in the dark

- The reports they have are not good. They are saying it's severe tendinitis and are using words like diseased and degenerative

- There is real fear that kawhi will never be able to play 82 games again and that he will likely deal with this for the rest of his career.

- Finally, he said he was told to expect kawhi to be out at least 4 to 5 weeks this go around.

So yeah. That's the info he dropped. Hes not a random dude and I fully trust he has sources that are in the know on this stuff. If it's all true 5uts super depressing

[Ice009]

Did anyone get anymore info from that Dallas radio host?

[exstatic]

I call BS on the Dallas radio host, and his sauces. If it were severe tendinitis, it would absolutely show up on a scan, MRI and such. Blood is a much different density and consistency than muscle. Sean suffered from this in the 90s, and they were on top of it and fixed his quad. If it weren’t for his kidney issues, he could have played more years than he did. Word is that nothing shows up, hence the mystery.

This.

If true, even if the Spurs mishandled it Kawhi is being a . Getting a second opinion is one thing. Even voicing displeasure (privately) with the mishandling and wanting a bigger say in management of the injury is fine.

Getting your own doctor and keeping the team in the dark is pretty much cancerous behavior though. I really hope that report isn't true or else Kawhi isn't really who we thought he was character wise.

[spursistan]

Hearing that Lisa Salters report about Pop saying there is still no timeline to Kawhi return is so dispiriting.

Tells me that we are really close to hearing that he's getting shutdown for the season..They probably know it and are just trying to renew season tickets sales and sell the remaining ones from their marquee matchups before dropping the inevitable news..

[nym]

Is Kawhi even traveling with the team for the RRT? In previous years when injured players would still tag along to build chemistry and whatnot but I didn't see Kawhi or Tony at the GS game. But I did notice Rudy Gay in the second row. If he's not even attempting to be with the team that's more telling than anything Pop or his camp says when pressed for comments.

Agreed, I don’t think we will see Kawhi in a Spurs jersey this season.
