Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

[Dbreiden83080]

Always cracks me up that we go from an everyman, underdog story in 1 to Rocky having a robot servant and ending the Cold War in Rocky 4

And I loved every minute of it lol. Gotta evolve the franchise into the 80s baby.

If he’s cleared concussion protocol there’s no reason at all for him to be on limited minutes or any kind of restriction.

Yeah, but it’s the Spurs. We know how cautious they are.

 

[BacktoBasics]

Yeah, but it’s the Spurs. We know how cautious they are.

That’s not something that can be re-aggravated with normal physical activity.

I think it’ll be pretty straightforward. If he’s cleared he’s good to go as normal. There’s no process on this where it’s pain management or not fully healed etc.

 

[The Truth #6]

I'm going to assume the protocol is probably closer to the bare minimum given all the money involved. The Spurs will have a lot of factors to balance when they make their decision. But yeah, if he passes the protocol and he's jonesing to play, he's going to play.

As for Hasselhoff: he's practically German (!) so that must carry a lot of weight back in the fatherland. His pioneering work with Knight Rider and Baywatch was obviously inspirational to freedom and an embrace of the American way.

Let’s hope so

Ir's looking like G3 is 50/50 (possibly a game-time decision) but Game 4 is a go for Wemby. Must be said Spurs are lucky the concussion occurred right before they were to have two days of rest allowing them to do the requisite tests all before the tip off of the next game..Just imagine if this happened in Game 6-7 situation with only a day off in between.

So much of the playoffs outcomes have become about injury luck--it's truly become a war of attrition. See the Pacers last 2 postseasons; they lucked out with opponents' injuries until they didn't at the most crucial moment.

Guy who made a career talking about CTE wants to dickride Vic’s situation for notoriety. Grotesque mfer


Questionable for tomorrow—that means high chance of playing LETS FUCKING GO

So I shouldn't have cut my dick off in anger the other night?

Nah, just tape it back on. Spurs medical staff will put you on minute restriction

I'll bust out the egg as well

 

[Sec24Row7]

Questionable means nba didnt say no. (i guess). Looks positive he's playing boys and girls.

Im still thinking he’s a no go for G3, that’s a real quick turnaround for a concussion. Good to see him travel though as that almost guarantees a G4 appearance unless things go south while traveling.

Wonder how much of this is Vic also downplaying his symptoms, he’ll be damned if he lets the team bust out in R1 after the season we’ve had

Reading this makes me hope Victor doesn’t play until at least game 5. It’s not worth the risk. His teammates need to step the hell up

 

[ambchang]

You guys think concussion is funny? Wemby may end up the rest of his life like this:

 

[ginobilized]

No telling how many more steps Wemby needs to clear in the NBA’s protocol. If he clears them, he’ll play. If he doesn’t he has more steps to get through. Spurs will not be sitting him out from caution or fear. I’m not sure if the NBA makes concussion protocol clearance public and if there’s some leniency with the injury report in these cases. We’ll know soon.

 

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Wemby needs to be there to be a leadership presence in any case, it's a bad look not to be there for the biggest games of his and his teams professional career.

You can’t listen to all of the Internet doctors. You have to trust in the people that are examining him.

Especially a PHD who has made a career talking about how bad CTE is. Has very little to do with what Vic’s got going on and the risks going forward …

Yes, and no doctor worth his salt is going to give you a diagnosis without examining the patient. It’s not worth listening to.

 

[BacktoBasics]

I don’t at all think he has a serious concussion. It was a bad fall and probably a mild concussion.

People get clocked all the time and don’t get a concussion.

Most concussions are right spot right time. I still think he’ll miss Friday but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s back
