Game Thread Spurs (21-7) vs Thunder (25-3) (Tue 12/23/25) [7:30 PM CDT]

[Ice009]

that's exactly what came up to my mind at that moment, hope to be wrong. I have been battling calf injuries for 18 years since a sprain grade 2 in 2007 this thing is a b.tch

Damn, man, didn't realize they can linger that long. I don't even know if what I've had is considered a proper calf strain. I'd say at worst, I've had a slight calf strain and played through it and gone to work like normal then after a while it came good. I don't remember much as it's been years. It was hard to push off of and jump, but I'm a lower flyer anyway . I do remember pain walking around, but nothing too bad.

How did/does your grade two feel? Was it very painful? Could you run, push off of it, jump etc.? Did you have trouble even walking?

Somebody is getting and/or reporting bad information.

Inactive for personal business and questionable for injury management are not interchangeable.

 

[Ice009]

SA Spurs reporters suck. They can't even get their stories straight. Do they do their job, or just get fed information and then write that up. Do they bother to check if the information is correct? Is he out for injury, or out for personal reasons?

 

[spurs10]

Don't know what to think. Get 'personal reasons' and was worried last night when he walked off. How many days has he come back? Sounds like if it is the calf everyone has a problem. He is missing a lot of games with the calf. Might be a serious problem.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Guys he is not out.

He is just questionable just like OKC listed 4 players including Chet questionable.

He might or might not play, but the chances of him playing limited minutes are more than any other permutation at this point…

 

[Wemby_Island]

Yesterday Wemby wants to clearly play more minutes.

But Mitch has benched him and looks that upset him because he was not on injury report.

May be as mitch said they are extremely cautious with him now considering his injury history.

Situation is ticky tack. Spurs wants him for playoffs as healthy as possible..

He wants to play as many minutes as possible.

The league can’t get involved in team medical decisions, nor should you want them to.

I want them to

 

[Strategic]

Damn game is blocked out in my area. Greedy league

 

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Did you guys notices Wemby talking in Mitch's ear for a moment when he was last replaced?

Could be that he felt something

Considering he also left the game a little early too

I figured once Pop left the reporters in SA would have more balls, but no dice

That was pretty bad, I felt it pop, I could not put any weight on it, I had bruising on the outside. It took 3 months to recover completely. I was 33 when that happened before that I never had any muscular issues.

I have been bad at stretching and doing some muscular strengthening so I keep re-injuring it every once in a while but now I know better than to continue running so usually 1-2 week recovery is sufficient.
