White should start because he's one of, if not the best, the most complete players on the team.
Why would there be an update? They said he had a bruised knee. As far as I know, talk about him needing further tests was just speculation. If he just has a bruise, then the thing that would determine whether he can go tomorrow would be how it feels and how that impedes him. They won't know that yet.

Whether White plays or not will give you a peak into Pop's mindset in terms of making the playoffs. If its just a bruise, he should play.
That's the thing, he is only 21 and he clearly has some issues, as was evidenced by his security blanket hairstyle. But he shed the hair which is a good psychological sign of his accepting of his issues and looking to move past them hopefully.
Its been said before, but I wish Lonnie would go talk to TP about how Pop treated him when he was about Lonnie's age which could help give LW4 some outside perspective to help him not take this from Pop so personal.
reminder that kawhi played hurt in the 2017 playoffs
Truth. It was a travesty this year. Pop had signed Murray to that extension and already committed to him. Then Forbes is inexplicable tbh.
I have considered whether Walker's history of knee injuries has made him averse to contact. If that is the case, his career will not reach the top of his potential. Still a very young guy that only just mid season started to get regular playing time. But physicality is lacking offensively for sure.
The way he's finishing at the rim right now (or lack of finishing) is honestly more dangerous long term for his knees than if he were to learn to finish through contact and land/fall correctly like Parker did tbh.
Then that is definitely coaching Mugen. Basically as needed as teaching guys how to land safely, is how to use contact to finish. With Derozan on the team, if he was helping out these guys and that is the reason he was here, well I'd value his mentorship more. I don't know what is going on in that regard. Still hoping Walker improves tho.
