Kawhi simply hasn’t looked right the entire season.
He might need to just take the whole year off.
Pop explains the decision via My San Antonio.
“It hasn’t responded the way we wanted it to,” coach Gregg Popovich told the Express-News after the team’s morning shootaround in Manhattan.
“He’s given it a shot. He’s frustrated as hell. He wants to play badly. But if we’re going to err, we’re going to do it on the side of health and being wise.”
“You try to react to how he feels after the games he’s played in a little bit,” Popovich said. “It just hasn’t gone as well as we’ve wanted it to. So we’re going to stop him for an indefinite period – I don’t know how long that will be – to get more strength and hopefully get him back on the court.”
Hope he gets back on court soon, but healthy.
