Well, the season hasn’t officially started and the Spurs are looking injury issues in the face. Lonnie Walker IV landed uncomfortably in the 4th quarter blow out against the Detroit Pistons and immediately waved to be pulled out, There was no hesitation, he went straight to the locker room. We now know he is out 6-8 weeks with a torn meniscus. Two days later, Dejounte Murray tore his ACL dashing to the rim against the Houston Rockets. There is currently no timeline for his return, but he could be out all season.
The injuries put the Spurs in the position of being two guards short for the tip off of the season, unless the final roster spot and/or the remaining two-way contract are used to account for the holes in the line up (although that doesn’t appear to be in the plans for now).
