Serge Ibaka left game 6 of the Clippers series with a calf injury and that’s the last time we’ve seen him as he as been ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs. Given the frequency that Tony Parker spends time in the paint converting layups, Ibaka’s shot blocking and altering talents are sorely missed and because of this, it may be a short series.
But Ibaka isn’t giving up hope, he’s trying to make his way back during the playoffs as he is willing to play through pain. If so, how effective will he be?
Ibaka is back in Oklahoma City for Games 1 and 2 – ruled out of the playoffs with a lower leg injury – but his willingness to play with pain, his loyalty to the championship cause, has him thinking about starting some stationary shooting late this week, a league source told Yahoo Sports on Monday.
