News The Official Check Here Before Asking About Injury Return Dates Thread

Gordon got rushed back and he is out again probably for another month..Same thing happened with Jalen Green..Stop messing around with soft tissue injuries. In today's league, it is automatic shutdown until full recovery..This is why Spurs medical staff took pains before clearing Fox and will do the same for Wemby/Harper. It is frustrating for us fans, but it's the right approach.

"Seeking multiple opinions" is never a good sign. It essentially means a breach of trust. it is why the "err on side of caution" path taken by the Spurs is the right move. This could derail Nuggets season, tbh.

What was Aaron Gordan's injury in the playoffs? Was that also a hamstring?



Did Denver rush him back?

I'm not sure how they could've rushed him back when he got injured back in May, surely took his time to recover.
Hamstrings are tough to deal with because for most players it becomes a recurring issue.
 
What is the comparison between Wembys strain and Fox’s? Bc Fox took like 5 months to recover. This could be a 2 month injury.

I didn't think they rushed him back. I was replying to one of the posters above that said "Rushing dudes from these types of injuries should be a fireable offense these days.."
That's why I was asking if he was rushed back. I didn't know if he hurt it again during preseason or something.
 
I think injuries tend to even out at the end of season so all teams are affected by it (Braun & Gordon are already out 6 weeks for Nuggets) . But the biggest advantage OKC/Denver have is that their best players (SGA/Jokic) are their most durable ones unlike, say, Spurs or Bucks, which softens the blow on the team's W-L record..

Well first off, one was a hamstring and the other is a calf strain. Secondly, it's hard to really compare because Fox's occurred in the offseason and we didn't get any real insight into what his training/recovery looked like in the immediate aftermath.

With Wemby, the fact that we haven't seen him in any sort of walking boot or even calf sleeve is a great sign. He's also been shown dribbling and working out on the sidelines at practice. I have no doubt they'll be conservative with him, but from everything we've been told so far he should hopefully be back some time in the first week of December.

Was some discussion around this in the Castle thread, but here’s another thread from McDonald. He says that he would bet against Wemby being ready by next week (in time for the NBA Cup QF). Later says it’s not impossible, but his impression is that it’s “iffy”. Says that he should be a lock to return by Christmas which isn’t very assuring :st-lol:

If this is true, looking like it’ll pretty much be a 4+ week absence for Wemby and 12 missed games. All of this for a supposedly minor calf strain…
 
I don't like this. It seems like something else is going on. I could be completely wrong and hope that is the case.

Anyone else get a sinking feeling in the pit of their stomachs reading this?

I mentioned this in the Castle thread... but Casey Viera and Devin Brown discussed this a little after the DEN game and one of them used the phrase "whatever is going on with Wemby". Devin seems to fairly good access to what is happening around the team, so this has me concerned.

I'm not too concerned, tbh.

The Spurs have already shown they aren't going to rush players back from calf issues. If there is ANYONE you can't afford to rush back, it's Wemby...he is the franchise, and also unique from a physical aspect. He probably isn't going to be able to come back as fast as, say...a younger, smaller Dylan Harper who missed 10 games.

Also, the fact that the Spurs have been winning games without Wemby just helps to justify a longer timeline to let him get fully healthy.
