[Haynes] Kawhi being sent home is “not seen as anything serious”, still dealing with soreness from left knee contusion

Yes, because this franchise has earned so much trust over the years with its candor and trust in the fanbase when providing injury updates.
He played through it and didn’t seem really bothered and we’re gonna play Washington and Chicago so I guess that’s the best move.
Uh oh
He’s played 22 or 24 straight games so I’m not mad. More young hoops
Haynes the Kawhi mouthpiece
It’s never serious. Every time this man says he’s fine in a post game, he’s not. Same scam.
Buying him a full week of rest
Two words: Jordan Kobe. Must see TV.
It’s a Leonard injury, so it’s serious. If it really isn’t, though, then it’s further proof that he’s soft. Rest him against the Wizards, fine. That Bulls game has trap written all over it.
In the world of sports and athletes, i don’t get how nfl football players go through 17-18 weeks of absolute brutal contact, but a basketball player’s contusion will put them out for several games. I know it’s Apple and oranges but someone break it down to me and explain.

I’ll be behind the bench for the Wizards game tomorrow. THAT is why he flew back…
Lmao where’s all the people giving shit to the ones to sell high
seen this movie before. it’s a whole ass marvel franchise by now
