Greg Simmons Spurs say Tony Parker suffered a sprained left ankle in the 3rd qtr will not return. |

In his post game response to TPs condition, Pop said he'll be out a while, with emphasis on 'a while'. The way he came down on it, TP looked to have rolled it pretty good. Like Sean and Bill Land both said afterwards, I'm glad we got a deep bench.

It seems that someone will have to emerge here and I can't imagine it being Neil. This backup-point-guard-by-committee system may not work in the playoffs when teams are throwing shortened rotations at them and the Spurs are throwing in multiple point guards cold off the bench. Or will it?

Tony would try at least to step on it if it is a mild sprain. It must have been hurt so bad.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cant wait to the MRI Get well TP! PLEASE we need you at the end of the season and def in the PO! And this time take your time Tony! Don't worry about leading the team, all other Spurs will step it up and everyone will pull their weight. Go Spurs Go!

Per Greg Simmons: Tony Parker underwent an MRI today that shows he has a grade 2 ankle sprain. The Spurs tell us he will be out a 4 weeks.

Ouch. Looks like DeColo, Mills and Joseph will get their share of additional playing time in TPs absence. As Pop has said of Tony in the past -- don't be a hero.

Actually considering the Spurs March schedule, I think they only play 14 games and most of them at home and not many against the top level teams, this should work out ok for the team

This could be a blessing in disguise. Yeah, Spurs may slip out of the top seed in the West, but we haven't done much with that when we've had it lately. The blessing is that the Spurs will have to overcome the unspoken sense that Tony would bail us out in the 4th quarter of close games. Rather than just plugging in Nando, Patty or Joseph, the team may work the month to devise patterns on offense that go beyond TP's dribble-penetration. That's a great idea when it works, but as this board has noted, it can be stopped in the playoffs. Let's see some innovation. We'll take our lumps in the short term, but it may push youngsters like Kawhi to get creative. |

Here's the March schedule vs. Detroit Pistons vs. Chicago Bulls vs. Portland Trail Blazers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder at Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Dallas Mavericks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz at Houston Rockets vs. Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Clippers vs. Miami Heat 13 Games - I'll call it right now - Spurs go no worse than 10-3 during the month

Hmmm Grade 2 ankle sprain could spell trouble for Spurs. ![]() I don't see a lot of Spurs wins without TP 4 MVP!!!!But it is all good! I guess it could have been worse. A sprained ankle sound so much better than a broken ankle... ![]() ![]() Now Pop will have to pull all Spurs and get them to understand the sense of urgency they need to play with...No more TP bailing them out and carry them in the second half.. This TP injury can be looked as a HUGE Blessing in disguise here and a Momentum build up for the PO. Spurs can create a second consistent scorer or a way for that system to improve those holes when TP goes to the bench to take a breather or to rest. I expect someone to Rise Up from this.... This will be a very good way now to judge the other Spurs and see if they can prepare for a better PO than past years when teams shut down Spurs in the middle or three quarter of the PO... I say Spurs will survive this TP out time on half of those 13 games! Realistically I see them winning 6 of 13 and we shall still be good! Hope Spurs prove me wrong and win all those games and go Belletristic 13-0 ![]() ![]() Get well TP! ![]()

Time to give K. L. the ball more like they should have done earlier. At times i would rather see the ball in K. L.'s rather than Duncan or Ginobili in terms of scoring. And can someone please tell Pop that Green and Neal should never have the ball on a fast break... and while you're at it tell Timmy to stop throwing long outlet passes. He sucks at it....

I would MUCH rather see him down low in the post than TIM DUNCAN. Timmy needs to get his points off of his jump shot, put backs, and great interior passing; not off of post ups. In My Opinion.

Actually this is something the coach Pop asked him to do this year to help start the fast break.

Kager, I don't have any official news but I'd guess TP9 should be back in about 2 weeks. He's a quick healer and has already been out 10 days. My guess (and this is pure speculation on my part) is that he will be back Wed 27 Mar. That's the start of a little 3 game homestand where the Spurs play Den, LAC, then Mia. Again, just my guess.

Playoffs start April 20th, so if Pop holds him out all of March that would give him 9 games to get back into sync with the squad and back in playing shape. Is that enough time?

My panties vary in colour ibanezser but your emotion doesn't, you tried to make a deal out of me asking a question so you are obviously wanting to have a go and that is fine if that is what you need but I am just after information rather than affirmation. If you read what I said I pointed out that Manu is not required to fill TP's shoes and could not so I have more of a halfie as I do still love watching him play. But most importantly there has been multiple threads where people are discussing the value of Manu and I felt that this thread where I was hoping to open and see TP come back next week was going to the same wasteland. And with my TVP ballot I was making the point that I have heard many commentators talking about the fact he should be in contention for MVP even if he falls behind LBJ, Durant and CP3..... but even if I wanted to talk about that in this forum I will spit the dummy if anyone suggests I can't, are you? Because I am not afraid to call in to question your softness if you are

Agreed on KL as he showed in OKC game he is starting to look to take on the D for a pull up or drive which means more options when TP has a small forward guarding him, and it seems it is state sanctioned as I doubt he would go off his own bat to get his as Pop would bench him quick.

To answer my own question David Aldridge on TNT just said that apparently TP's injury healed better than expected and so will be 3 weeks rather than 4, apparently TP is on the bike and shooting around and he is "confident in getting the Spurs doctors clearances to play, just not Doctor Pop" (I may have misquoted slightly there but close enough)

If you look at the background of this video, you see none other than Tony Parker himself shooting jumpshots with Coach Chip. Practice: Manu Ginobili | video | THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS GO TONY PARKER AND GO SPURS GO!
