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

Obviously they would never admit it, but gotta wonder if going 5-2 without them is just letting them be extra extra cautious and extending their recovery. If we had gone 2-5 do you guys think that would change the equation?

At least Harper's return was on a random road game which shows they would potentially do the same for Wemby/Castle if the medical staff felt they cleared any hurdles remaining as opposed to holding out for a home game.

This is some spurtalk tier wrist cutting. Wemby getting cared with absolute kids gloves to make sure his ACL doesn't explode and everyone in here is like "weight loss, he's dying and has millions of blood clots". :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-lmao: :st-claw:

You forgot the best part: he was wearing a motorcycle outfit like the guy in the Village People with the leather hat and the vest.
 
I’ve been wanting to rewatch the Sopranos again and this thread is making me put that near the top of my watch list lol
 
I don’t know if I would have a hard time or an easy time believing this organization would cost our franchise player DPOY and other potential awards simply to be overly cautious.

If it’s justified that’s one thing but overly cautious is another.

Same difference, they all got weak soft tissue lol Castle will probably be back game after the next, probably.

All this means is that any time Wemby doesn't hit 65 games, the winner of MVP and DPOY will have an asterisk next to it.

Also means Wemby is gonna save us $8.7MM of cap space (in the first year based on current projected 2027-28 cap of $174.3MM) by not being eligible for the Rookie Supermax. Just making room for that massive Sochan extension, tbqh

I think it gives them some leeway, but it is not the deciding factor.. It's just that calf injuries have really become a tricky issue and carry with them a high-risk secondary effects (Achilles rupture)
 
My theory, which I thought up two minutes ago, is that there's a whole lot going on behind the scenes with regards to Wemby's strength and conditioning protocols, and that slow is all we're going to get while they learn and discover. Literal billion$ at stake.

Stopped tryin to understand Spurs injury management a long ass time ago, feels like they’re purposely cryptic and love secrecy so what’s the point.

Though kinda jokes how we have a reputation for being so careful yet everyone keeps getting injured anyway lol

Good thing that I'm not a player on the team. I'd be telling them to show me conclusive evidence, and if there is none and I feel good enough, I'd be telling them that I'm playing. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'd be taking the Kobe, MJ approach.

That approach ended Kobe’s career badly. He only played 107 games over his last 3 years because he pushed through, and blew out his Achilles. He was done at 37. If he would have taken care of his body and listened to his doctors, he might have done a methuselah act like LeBron is doing.

I did say if I felt good enough, so not quite the same as Kobe and MJ as I'm sure both of those guys played when they were hurting quite a bit. They both pushed through things that maybe they shouldn't have (Wizards MJ played on a busted knee all season I think Tyronn Lue said). I would lean towards their way of not sitting out for minor things, but I'd be a bit smarter and not push through if I'm hurting and I think it'll make it worse. And also, if it's hurting but the Doctor says you won't make it worse by playing, I'd be fine to push through that (in the bigger games). I think that is what Victor wants to do (not sit out for minor things), but the Spurs won't let him. I think one of his ankle sprains, he came back earlier than they wanted him to because he felt alright. It could be the wrong approach, but that's the way I lean towards. The Kobe example shows it might not be, but then again, would Kobe have been Kobe if he didn't push through stuff? You've got the other end of the spectrum in Kawhi who sits out these.

And if I was a player of Victor's caliber, I'd be going a little crazy if I was ready to play and knowing awards are on the line, not sure I'd want to sit out. Normally, I don't care about awards and only care about team wins, but if you've already missed out on two defensive player of the year awards (should have won it his rookie year too) when you know you're the best, that's gotta be a little upsetting seeing someone else take your award.
