There it is. The fog known as the Clippers’ injury report has been lifted.
damn
Damn.
Wow who couldve seen this coming
damn that sucks
It’s so over
Too many injuries
How the hell did Kawhi last so long in Toronto? Holy shit.
The guy went crazy in G2 with a torn meniscus
He really an all timer
Wow, so exactly what they did with the ACL tear in the playoffs.
lol hidden just like the ACL was 2 years ago. That’s now 3 straight playoffs he’s missed due to injury. Sucks.
Bro will never be legitimately healthy at this point
The classic “wait a week or so before hearing that Kawhi has a significant injury”
Clippers org deserves more heat for constantly keeping their fans guessing about star players injuries
Lmao ofc we don’t hear about this until after the series is over
Can’t believe people thought he was load managing while down in a playoff series
Wonder how many more lines Balmer has to do to put up with this shit
What’s worse is this will happen again and again for Clippers fans. Those two aren’t going anywhere and their injury issues are only going to get worse as they get older.
Tell me how long this takes to recover from
Is that another whole year of rehab?
Gives me more appreciation of how Embiid played a whole series vs the Hawks with a torn meniscus
OKC has the Clippers’ pick next year
I just wanna see the man play ball, is that so much to ask?
From now on this dude is a Shaun Livingston. 10-15 mins off the bench. Win 6th man of the year.
Ah, who am I kidding…probably will still get injured in the playoffs 🤦♂️
The first half of his career (2011-2017) is now just as long as the injury prone half. It’s sad to say but I don’t think you can rely on him having even a moderately healthy season ever again, even if he load manages and plays 40-50 a season
It’s sad cause dude is one of the great playoff performers of all time
Seems pretty obvious his body can’t handle the load required for a full season plus playoffs, regardless of his greatness. One playoff game before tearing your meniscus is crazy, can’t help but feel for the dude.
Yeah his knees are done. They can’t withstand a season anymore. This is Brandon Roy all over again.
Seems like that Spurs medical staff were right to be concerned about him
Forever grateful for getting through the Raptors championship run
Do they blow it up? Kawhi and PG cannot stay healthy anymore.
He’s cooked
