Let’s hope it doesn’t start crystallizing into bone and he leaves is for LA.

Lonnie jumps so hard it’s reasonable to be worried about his knees on the jump AND the landing
I’m worried about the knees of all the cliff jumpers here.
Meh, they live on their knees anyway.
Sounds like good news so far. Although I won't be relieved until I see him back out there. Rewatching his minutes, he was gimpy for a while and then it seemed to tighten up on him right before he asked out. Hopefully it's just a contusion -- that'd be best case scenario.
Those who are scoffing at the concern shown for Walker obviously don't know that his first two meniscus tears were in noncontact situations as well. , his meniscus tear last preseason happened while he did a simple right to left dribble:
There's a very good chance that it ends up being a psychological thing he has to deal with. Even if he doesn't get hurt, he might start to hesitate when it comes to some of his moves out of concern that he'll re-aggravate his injuries. One of Walker's best assets is that he can jump so well it opens up unorthodox shot angles. If he loses the confidence to make those leaps, he won't have the same ceiling as an offensive player.
you lost me when you quoted "ducks".
I get nauseous seeing Pondexter and Cunningham on our team last year in that clip.
all right, nothing serious it seems ... go Lonnie ... without him the motivation to watch Spurs games is really low
Like Tin Man Carroll this year
Lol at the attempt to validate your prediction. So it's the medical staff's fault that any player gets injured? They have made mistakes, certainly with DG's injury and to an extent with the Kawhi situation (even though they were right in the end...). What does that have to do with you jumping the gun on a meniscus rear the moment Lonnie had a misstep acting like it was a sure thing? Even in those tweets you quote, they list out Lonnie with an undisclosed knee injury and then state the extent of the injury; what's the issue with that? Not like they tried playing him through the tear... But go off, my man
i love ST doctors; they're almost as reliable as using Google for a diagnosis.
Agree with everything you said but it shouldn't be too worrisome. I would much rather have a player rely on his skills over his athleticism any day or else you just get a Russel Westbrook. Lonnie has so much potential in buttery jump shot and his dribble pull ups. The most important thing in today's NBA is getting a knock down jumper which I think Lonnie has and can grow more into.
Is lonnie still ing injured?
holy ing
Other than being butthurt by Pop, I don't think so.
what the did lonnie do to get himself at the end of the bench again
He’s not Italian.
he embarrassed forbes, beli & mills
He jumps too high. Pop doesn't like black players who jump high. He likes unathletic white guys who can't defend
I wouldn’t be mad at all if he left the team. It’s mind boggling this kid can’t get a ing MINUTE of run.
