There you go Fox, fuck them up!

If a player enters into a concussion protocol, it would be atleast a week he will be back.

Thats what I learnt from NFL.

It’s not standard one week you can look it up with the NBA. It depends on do they pass the exams prior to that. Reevaluation after 24 to 48 hours.

 

[MannyIG]

He was knocked out. He will likely be feeling symptoms beyond 48 hours.

yeah i'll leave that up to the doctors (whatever happened to Shoog?) but you might be right. Either way, this team can beat Portland without him.

 

[100%Duncan]

Ridiculous that we’re one Kornet minor injury away from potentially losing to Portland smh

 

[poopbox]

I find it hilarious when the foul baiters are incredulous when they clearly foul on the other side.

Almost as annoying as the flopping. Deni and SGA have never committed a foul in they life according to them.

 

[spurraider21]

im somewhat relieved they have only announced concussion protocol and not something crazy like a jaw injury. i know they're capable of taking x-rays in the arena

 

[spursistan]

I think we can steal this game. Wemby was kinda having a meh game (-7) and Spurs beat them twice without him..If we go 2-0, i expect them to sit him for G3 even if passes concussion protocol

hey @scott you want to know how Fox can justify his contract?

Good start. He understands the assignment it appears

 

[Weeks]

Where's NBA Champion Jeff Ayres when you need him?

time to run rob through concussion protocol tbh

Who was the most recent player to undergo the protocol?

That’s definitely good news… Just hard to be glass half full right now. If anything, Im annoyed I dont get to watch Wemby play.

 

[kxs783]

You still never answered how Denver wins without Jokic or OKC without SGA. Or how the Spurs dynasty teams win without Tim. It's kind of ridiculous to demand the team is a title contender when their #1 goes down. This isn't the MLB where you can go buy every good player like the Dodgers.

Great point.

yeah i was worried he cracked his jaw with the way he hit it, or fucked up some teeth

I remember Kevin Love during the '16 finals went to the concussion protocol and missed a game or two I believe.

 

[MannyIG]

After reading this again, I think the fact that he's not back in the game is definitive that they diagnosed him with a concussion. It doens't mean he has to stay if they don't htink he has one, just that they have to keep monitoring him.

That’s how it is in football so it makes sense. Shit, I just now saw the play. Had to listen to the first half on delayed radio but just got home.

[spurraider21]

3 fouls on Fox/Champagnie/Keldon

Deni has 3 for Portland

 

[Uriel]

Just checking in. What happened to Wemby?

 

[mexpurs21]

Would you guys start CB next game and let Kornet keep his role in the second unit for the first half? With Kornet obviously finishing the game and with more minutes than CB.

Yeah, I think losing Wimby kind of takes the pressure off the guys I am hoping they stop thinking so much and just start hooping

 

[Kick-Stand]

That’s definitely good news… Just hard to be glass half full right now. If anything, Im annoyed I dont get to watch Wemby play.

This is still a solid playoff team without Victor if you're worried about how full the glass is. They can't beat Denver or OKC without Victor but thankfully they're not playing them right now.

Hope Vic does not miss too much time. Damn

 

[QuarryHeights]

Just checking in. What happened to Wemby?

Got a flash knockout by hitting the floor face first - But good sign he actually ran into training room after a minute or two
