Interesting on what Mitch said on why he pulled him. I timestamped the question. Mitch said something along the lines of : he had a turnover because he was telegraphing the pass cause he wasn't looking to attack, that the kid has the ability to be in attack mode at all times and still be able to process and deliver passes and make reads and make plays and he just wanted to remind him of that. As we guessed, he was going to put him back in, but since the team went on a run and was playing well, he stuck with the guys that were out there.

Good advice tbh.
 
i do think it'll be funny. Harper is the better PG plays a little like manu and parker. castle is a different archetype entirely. not as speedy as parker not as automatic at the basket. his game is a power SG which would be manu's position, but he's not manu. he doesn't have the saavy and technique.

now FOX VS HARPER is going to be nasty later this year. whenever one of them misses a shot or turns the ball over you'll hear the groans and moans across SA

I think it’s absolutely garbage that people’s debate skills are so low that they have to tear down one player on our team to promote another one.

Just enjoy that we have a group of super talented young players on the team.

BTW, I absolutely love Harper, but he’s primarily playing against second units, where Castle was not only starting last year, he was the primary focus of the opposing defense after Wemby and Fox went down. Two completely different scenarios. Castle really needs to clean up his turnovers, though. Harper needs to be ready for more physicality from the defense when he starts playing first unit minutes. They’ll bump him off his line, something more difficult to do with Cadtle, who is a tank.
 
Welp, time to anxiously await news on the injury. The fact that he’s in a walking boot on the bench isn’t very comforting…I’m guessing he’ll be at least 4 weeks but hopefully I’m wrong.

Only bright side is that it seems like it’s at least not an Achilles thing.
 
Yeah. Among all the bad in this game, Harper getting hurt is easily the worst. I'm expecting bad news, but hoping for the best.
 
Wish Harper the best and hoping he doesn't miss too much time, but the early signs are of him being injury-prone unfortunately..There is always going to be something: a knee, a groin, a finger, a calf.. Not encouraging at all
 
So for our google docs on the forums, what does him being in a walking boot that quickly mean most likely? Precautionary until an MRI is conducted tomorrow? Or already diagnosed the calf? Curious if it points to anything or not basically.

I was thinking maybe a fracture tbh
 
If it's a calf issue, i'd say 4-6 weeker considering it's the Spurs.

Doubt he's back on the bench if it was an achilles tear tbh. Not great but this is why you have Fox on the roster.
 
Achilles tear can be tested on the spot with a very high degree of confidence IIRC. I don’t think there’s any way he’d have came back out and sat on the bench if it was something like that.

I’m guessing grade 2 calf strain. Unfortunately can’t imagine it’s any sort of day-to-day type injury given the walking boot.

Yea if it was an achilles he wouldn't be on the bench. That is easy and quick to diagnose and he would've been devastated. Seeing it in the moment seemed like cramps or calf strain, I could see the Spurs holding him out for the rest of the game if it did cramp up but then the boot crosses off that possibility. Just a lame turn of events, he was playing awesome so far this season.
 
He knew it was something serious immediately. That's what has me pessimistic. Certainly a muscle though given the way he was moving afterward.
 
So Harper missed a handful of games his Senior year of HS with a knee injury and then had knee surgery after the season, then missed multiple games at Rutgers with an ankle injury, then missed part of SL in July with a groin injury, then required surgery on his left thumb for a partially torn ligament 2 months ago, and has now suffered a calf injury in his 6th NBA game while playing limited minutes at 19 years old… Really hope this dude isn't just injury-prone tbh.
 
If it is indeed a grade 2 calf strain, and that does seem to be the most likely possibility at this point, then he’ll be out a month minimum.

Yeah he's had a shitload of injuries in his short career so far.
