The only silver lining I can think of: it took us a while to adjust to playing with Harden. It is also probably taking us a while to adjust to playing without Kawhi. I think this team still has a lot of talent, even with Kawhi not playing (obviously we are much better with him, but you get what I mean). Hopefully our guys are able to figure it out, and take this lesson forward. That way if Kawhi does go down for a stretch during the playoffs, we will already have the adjustments down and ready to go.
How’s that for some wild, blind optimism?

Man this blows, let’s just hope Harden and PG can get us wins while we wait for Kawhi to come back

This shit is so annoying. Vucevic gets a groin strain and we get a timeline of 7-10 days at least from Shams. Don’t know why we can’t be upfront like that instead of this day to day bullshit that we all know isn’t really day to day. Minor injuries happen but not being upfront about anything is getting way too frustrating.

This sucks I bought tickets for Jan 3 vs Phx before the season start just hoping for a healthy team. I was so pumped before the injury. Haven’t gotten to see a healthy Kawhi in a while
GoldRanger315
I hate these niggas sm, It’s only the clippers that do this shit, just tell us if he’s injured bruh. Niggas gon have him marked as “questionable” next game when he’s probably out for a couple weeks
Goldenwarrior92
Grant straight up grinded and smashed his knee into Kawhi’s thigh that entire possession.
Otherwise-Tale9671
He won’t be back until late January, at the earliest.

Man gone be gone til all star.

We have 4 days until the January 1st game against Miami. Based off Hip Contusion timetables that would be the earliest I’d expect to see him. Maybe after. It’s not really a big deal in terms of him missing 4-5 games but it is annoying how little transparency this orginization has with any injuries (remember with Plumlee they never actually gave a timetable in a press release. that was Shams)
magnificentmeatwad
For all we know it could be a season ending injury. Never know with Kawhi sadly
Gogibsoni
Tale old as time with Kawhi unfortunately
NWaitforitZ
I hate Grant Williams. All my homies hate Grant Williams
Warm_Cricket_384
Can’t wait for him to come back and start missing games for rest 😀😀😀
ElDuderino_92
If it ain’t a proper update then I don’t want it. Until then, Give us info on our guys that’ll actually play.
lsalomx
bro if they just said “hip contusion, estimated 2 weeks return” that would be fine. that’s normal for that injury. the constant years of lying are crazy and I don’t know why Ballmer keeps Powell on staff
LilTurnippman
Bro he’s still practicing chill
mysteries_fool
I hate this organisation for this, they are lying every time. Kawhi says he is good after the game just for him missing a lot of times. Be honest with us at least, we are not asking you for money, fuck this shit !
Zealousideal_Bass199
I love Kawhi, feel like when healthy hes a 1a player on a championship team. But he’s literally made of glass, this isnt even related to his degenerative knee. Feels like everytime he gets a knock, the worst case scenario happens. How is he gonna sustain a high intensity playoff run?
MothershipConnection
I think for everyone’s sanity this organization should start listing things like
Moussa Diabate – caught a cold – OUT INDEFINITELY
phillysteaks718
Part of the reason it is probably shrouded in mystery is because kwahi prob uses his own training staff and they don’t give the best updates
BurghFinsFan
I wish they would just tell us what’s going on. If he has to sit for a couple of weeks fine. But don’t do this questionable every game thing if he’s still not close.
Greedy_Ear_Mike
I wish they would stop doing this shit. Be up front and honest about it.
Fuck Grant Williams.
I’m scared Kawhi is.just a version of Mr. glass.
brainspl0ad
Lol, y’all a bunch of babies.
jgroove_LA
I hate, hate, hate, hate that the Clippers are not honest about injuries.
Tw0XXs
At least he’s practicing. I’m guessing he plays a week from now.
But that’s all we can do honestly. “Guess”
ConsistentRip7398
Why is this organization so tight-lipped about injuries just tell us what’s wrong with him cause it’s more frustrating with this day-to-day bullshit than just flat out saying hey he’s going to be out for some weeks with a serious injury
penguinoo401
That man ain’t coming back till they’re back from the roadtrip
airJACKSONN
him practicing is good to hear
Piper619
Oh dam where’d you go to medical school?
Ewh1t3
I saw a tweet saying he hasn’t missed any games yet then immediately he goes out for 3+ games
duderello
Trade his injury prone ass. He is made of glass. Apparently he is put for the season
Magnus-Methelson-m3
I think we’ll be ok with out him . He just needs to stay healthy for the playoffs . If we can keep the 4 or 5 seed with him out from time to time we’ll be in good shape .
heymynameiseric
Players can take 2-4 weeks for contusions. The body heals when it heals. People are acting like there’s conspiracy theory. They told you the injury early on, and there is general timeline associated with that type of injury. Wasn’t a secret.
The silver lining here is that our boys are gonna learn how to play without Kawhi which is a good thing IMO. It’s good for them to get comfortable should they need to in an important game like the playoffs.
jeffincredible2021
Kawhi’s body is shot! Every little contact injures him

This isn’t my favorite thing the clippers do but some of yall have wild imaginations

As long as it’s not a 2-3 month injury I’m good
