has to be considered somewhat of a positive development.

If his knee reacts fine to that, perhaps he can return relatively soon

God knows I'd like to have Kawhi back--but, let's be realistic. He played 5 on 5 this summer, and aggravated or reinjured something within 40 minutes of when he started actual game play. Maybe it was a freak, one time aggravation. I sure hope so. At this point, I don't know what to think or expect.

Nobody does. Kawhi is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

But I think he's feeling the heat. Now Kawhi has to at least make a show of doing everything he can to get back as soon as he can. Otherwise he's stealing Ballmer's money. Starting with his holdup of Popovich and the Spurs and then becoming the poster boy for the loathsome "load management," he's used up all benefit of the doubt.

The one thing we DON'T hear is the medical opinion Kawhi would be risking re-injury by rushing his return. I always trust what I DON'T hear more than what I do hear.

My hope is that it's just stiffness from working himself back into actual NBA shape after a very looong layoff, but that's just my hope.
It's also possible he's got a permanent address now in F*** City, but we'll see.

I thought Lue said he had a ways to go???
