Rumor is they pressured him to play when he didn’t feel right, he played, got hurt. Rehabbed.. spurs doctors say he’s good to go again, teammates make some remarks about how he is good, including Tony Parker basically insinuating he is a wuss, but he still doesn’t feel right. I wouldn’t trust them either.
Yeah there are 20 years of history from the Spurs, but there isn’t a ton of history of Kawhi being a primadonna. Nobody knows and everyone will take sides. Kawhi is too likeable of a guy, and too hard of a worker for me to fully conclude one way or the other. If I had to, I’d probably err on believing Kawhi.
