https://www.si.com/nba/2018/07/24/da...-medical-staffShooting guard Danny Green said that he played for San Antonio with a groin tear in 2017-18, but it was undetected by the Spurs until an end-of-season physical, he said on his Inside the Green Room with Danny Green podcast.
Green noted that he strained his groin against Boston in December, but still played 70 games over the course of the season. Green missed five games in December due to the injury.
I said it was since midseason, but it might have been longer. He got hurt in early December and his condition wasn't properly followed up, according to his statement.
Is kawhi now the biggest cancerous player in the history of the nba?
Imo he's now surpassed rasheed, rondo, Carmelo, rose, mccants, cousins, artest, captain jack, etc. Those guys at least played when healthy, kawhi gets away with a lot because he's a former fmvp/dpoty and is considered a top 3 player. How long before the league and sponsors blackball and turn on him?
It is bad because that would expose his intentions all along, which have always been moving to LA. He and his uncle put on a circus to try and make it seem like the reason they left San Antonio is because the Spurs ed up, but the reality is that they always wanted to move to LA and there was nothing the Spurs could do to prevent that.
Example #1 of making speculation seem like facts. You're a piece of . This is not a factual statement. Provide your source. Get off Kawhi's nuts.
kawhi will be in the top 10 goat players if he can turn around a big market team like the Knicks and make it a championship team..
Never happen on Dolan's watch. He's both "hands on" and incompetent, a bad, bad combination.
Sheed wasn't a cancer . . .
That's not all he said tho fwiw
“They said maybe you should get it checked. My agent said maybe you should get a second opinion. I didn’t want to because I have full faith and believe in the Spurs staff. They’ve always been great to me, they’ve always done right be me, and they’ve always done a uva job. Throughout the season we’ve monitored it, but we never went back to check on it again because so many other injuries have happened, and I should have gotten a second opinion…not saying that the Spurs staff is not up to par, it’s just that not everyone is a specialist in every area…
“At the end of the season, I come to find out it could have happened that day or that playoff series against GS, but we don’t know. At the end of the season I had to get another MRI because you get your exit physicals, and the strain was still there with a full tear. Since then, I’ve been rehabbing it, and now they’ve passed that information on to Toronto. We don’t know how long I’ve been playing with this strain (he probably meant tear) or when it happened…a second opinion could have helped, but they did a great job. They did everything they could, but I think it would have been nice to see a specialist just to see if there was another angle or another view.
“You could tell my play deteriorated towards the end of the season, I wasn’t the same, but in my compe ive nature I didn’t want to leave the floor. I didn’t want to leave the floor regardless, and I felt that pressure that we needed to win. We needed everybody, and if I wasn’t playing we really didn’t have much of a shot. If Kawhi’s not playing, we have less of a shot. We missed a couple of other starters and myself. I probably should have sat out, waited, took some time, or did another evaluation, gotten a second opinion, but we’re doing that now.”
Danny came out after that report and said Spurs were getting too much heat for that-they told him to get a second opinion but he just wanted to play hurt anyways.
Is that why they only have 1 major sports team? Dallas and Houston are far more populated than SA.
So now we have someone arguing SA is not a small market...Good God
This has to be one of the dumbest post I've read hear. That's saying a lot
PATFO called their bluff and Kawhi showed his true colors..it wasn’t a coincidence that immediately when Pop suggested they were considering shutting him down..Kawhi shows up. He then tells the media etc that he’s close and pretty much gives the hint he’s coming back.
That time passes and Kawhi once again becomes shady and then comes the players only meeting. The BS surfaced and was reeking and the players and PATFO could all smell it. He gets called out by his peers and he folds and takes his ball home..again disappears from the team and stops showing up. Spud probably felt it was best because once he openly showed his I uncommitted ways it’s a distraction across the board.
IMO this all started in the off-season due to the super max contract extension. The group wanted the deal or agreement meanwhile Spurs wanted to wait and they had every right too. The SM isn’t a joke and isn’t something you cave into especially since there’s been “issues” with The Group that was reported by Michael C Wright...
So Kawhi pulled a Leveon Bell and decided I’m not playing or risking myself without the SM...and the war began. PATFO still somewhat believed in Kawhi the person but just not his posse intentions..they tried to give him the benefit of doubt etc but he took the side of his group.
The “trust” as reported was ultimately broken and something had to be done...Spurs could’ve made things really ugly but felt it would’nt be best for both parties and did what they could.
I also believe Kawhi never liked being in SA. Even though I’m sure he appreciates the development and the winning he experienced his money and brand was on his mind...he just couldn’t do anything due to the presence of Duncan and “culture” being around. Like he told Ramona Shelburne he knew he’d never get the benefit of the doubt due to Spurs reputation and him being an up and comer.
Spurs always showed their all in commitment to him...they halted when they sensed and realized he wasn’t as committed and unlike The Big 3 it was more about him and not the franchise..
Uh no. Kawhi has recently turned into an individual who is showing that he only cares about himself and his future contracts. Doesn't sit on the bench to be with his teammates and support them. He thinks he's bigger than the game of basketball by pulling all these childish tantrums.
I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls the same on the clips, if he goes. Which is looking likely with the way he is treating his stay in toronto.
Pop's 5 rings>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nurse's 0 rings
Only fans here are saying these kinds of things. No one on the raptors have had any complaints about Kawhi as a player or teammate. They're being taken seriously right now because Kawhi is there even though they're winning without him the fact he's on their team is why many are seeing them as finals bound.
Pop has 0 rings when he was a rookie coach
Small market is a bit of a stretch for SA. It's sort of middle of the pack. This small market argument has been around since the 90s and its very definition has to be revisited. Old dogs like may not like it but we're already in the late 2010s.
You want to take it up with sports illustrated ? In synthesis the same.
He wanted to play but he’s not a doctor is he?
Calling Kawhi deficient mentally then at the same time saying you hope he breaks his legs. Weren't you saying the same about Parker and wanting him to break his legs? And he was playing. Seek help
Dr. Grant would agree with you.
nah I'm good. Just putting the quote with more context in there
Kawhi is a league cancer.Calling Kawhi deficient mentally then at the same time saying you hope he breaks his legs
His influence is already apparent with Fultz and Butler.
Still, his managment has complete control over him.
He is aa child in a mans body. Cant think for himself. Cant make decisions for himself.
