bruh
Fuck
He’s getting older. Rebuild the team lmao
You can’t keep load managing at this point.
Gotta maximize the regular season and hope for the best.
Blow up time
GG
Avaraged 35 with a torn meniscus in 2 games. He cant catch a break…
Is this another season long injury?
😞
That’s a 3-6 month recovery time I believe. Man’s really needs to start wearing a knee brace
Can’t blow it up, cause the return will be peanuts and can’t build from the draft, this is purgatory lmao
I don’t care. Move on.
I know we’re all for positivity but at what point do we admit this is never going to work? Kawhi and PG are injury prone and only getting older. I think it’s time to cut our losses on these guys and try to get some draft picks.
Give him 40 million in Microsoft stock and beg him to medically retire
I’ve said before, ever since Skip and Uncle Dennis met in person, hashed it out, and spent some time together at that boxing match in 2019, Skip has been 100% accurate with Kawhis injuries even when the Wojs and Windhorsts of the world dispute them. I’m not saying Uncle Dennis is his source but Skip is really cool with someone in his camp to be calling these spot on. Notice too that Skip no longer disrespects Kawhi the way he used to on air and before KD went to PHX, he was a Kawhi fanboy and doing Undisputed with his jersey on sometimes.
I WANT OUT
I love how we hold this in silence and until the seasons over…
But wait people online told me he was just not playing cause he’s a baby who doesn’t wanna suit up? Telling me its a real injury all along?
People in this sub gotta realize how hard it is to avarage 35 and playing defense on durant with a FUCKING TORN MENISCUS. KAWHI HATE GOTTA STOP AT SOME POINT. DUDE FUCKING TRIED TO PLAY WITH AN INJURY.
We really stuck in the Infinite Tsukuyomi
I love how they always put out these placeholder injuries like “knee sprains” and then once the season is over the real injury comes out and it’s dramatically worse.
This is getting obnoxious as fuck.
This is giving me B Roy vibes 🙁
i dont think theres any doctor good enough for his glass body
Our medical staff ladies and gentlemen.
And there it is. Surprise surprise. We are fuked.
Some teams will still gamble to have him
I love the guy. When he plays, it’s incredible, but I feel it’s time to move on 😔
For anybody who is upset at the amount of games that Kawhi was playing it’s gonna be even worse going forward. His knee is torn up and is going to be aggravated even more. I would say you can’t count on him anymore. Just move on and create a team around players that you know we’re gonna be on the floor night in a night out. No disrespect to him, you just can’t build around someone who can’t stay healthy.
