Don Harris on WOAI 6PM news said he spoke with Manu's agent Herb Rudoy about an hour ago and "Manu has every intention of playing in the Olympics."
Harris went on to say "Ginobili spent only 24 hours in San Antonio getting both an anti-inflammatory shot and an another MRI on that ankle. He is now in route back to Argentina and will be presented with the flag at the presidential palace by President (Cristina) Fernandez at a big ceremony tomorrow."
"Rudoy made it clear to me, Manu's got his mind made up. He (Rudoy) told me on the phone last night:
'Manu told me last night, that the ankle feels fine. It's much better. He returned to Argentina today. His plan is to go to Beijing to play in the Olympics and to carry the flag. Barring something unforeseen that is his intention. You would have to shoot him to keep him out.'
He has spoken with the Spurs about a contract extension with Ginobili, but that is now on hold until after the Olympics are over."
This is gonna sound bad but I was hoping that ankle would not be good enough to go in time ofr the olympics.

Definitely no reason to extend him pre-Olympics. Wait it out and see how he performs in the '08-'09 season. If he struggles with injuries again, let the contract expire, offer to re-sign but don't break the bank.
I wouldn't offer him the extension just yet. Lets see how things develop this summer and this year.
