Danny Green reveals he played with misdiagnosed groin tear

[slightly biased bias fan]

Shooting guard Danny Green said that he played for San Antonio with a groin tear in 2017-18, but it was undetected by the Spurs until an end-of-season physical, he said on his Inside the Green Room with Danny Green podcast.

Green noted that he strained his groin against Boston in December, but still played 70 games over the course of the season. Green missed five games in December due to the injury.

The Spurs' medical team has received criticism for its loss of control in Kawhi Leonard's injury recovery. Leonard was traveling to New York to see an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Jonathan Glashow and his staff at Mount Sinai Medical Center took over the rehabilitation process in midtown Manhattan. In retrospect and because of his experience, Green does not blame Leonard for seeking an outside opinion for the injury.

Yikes. Might be people fired similar to what happened with the C’s last summer

Maybe Leonard was on to something...

This is why guys like LeBron try to control the media as much as possible. Look what they said about Leonard, using hear-say and conjecture like it was fact and because Kawhi is a quiet guy he essentially became the villain.

Very interesting. Hope DeMar doesn’t get screwed over in SAS

I saw this discussed on reddit. I recall several ppl claiming this kind of injury can easily go undiagnozed and that the Green's claim was taken out of context (it wasn't his intention to depict the SAS medical team in a negative light).

IMO this is blown out of proportion bcs of Leonard's complaints.

Leonard is still doing his best to verify what the media say. He is not attending the Team USA camp because he wants to "use time to prepare for [a] transition to [his] new team"

That is BS ....

Derozan who was forced to move to SA is going BTW.....

He’s not attending the USA Team camp because Pop is the coach.  DeRozan going actually helps him prepare for his new team, however, since Pop is the coach.
