San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili announced Monday on Twitter that an MRI showed he has a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring and he will be sidelined 10 to 14 days.
“Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green did not travel with the team after Wednesday night’s win in Orlando, instead heading back to South Texas this morning for an extra day of rest leading up to Saturday’s sure-to-be-rugged home game against Memphis. The four were spotted on a Southwest flight making a pre-lunch escape from central Florida. As a result, the Spurs – who were already without injured small forward Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Jackson – get set to take on the defending NBA champions using a roster of nine players. In retrospect, Popovich was probably hinting at the decision to come before Wednesday’s game in Orlando, when he admitted the most road-heavy November in team history was taking its toll on his players. ‘We’re getting tired,’ Popovich said. ‘We’ve had a six-day trip and a 10-day trip. Usually you don’t have that in one month.’
Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was again ruled out for Thursday night's game against Oklahoma City because of a back problem. He could make his season debut this weekend.
The San Antonio Spurs will kick off the season without their super-sub, Manu Ginobili. Back pain will keep Ginobili on the sidelines, per the Express-News: “Still suffering from back issues, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili won’t make the trip to New Orleans for Wednesday’s regular season opener against the Hornets. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Ginobili, who missed Friday’s pre-season finale against the Washington Wizards because of back spasms, tried to participate in Monday’s practice session but was not able to finish the session. ‘He’s not going to travel to New Orleans and we’re going to assess him again on Thursday,’ Popovich said of the 35-year-old two-time All-Star. ‘He still feels his back. He tried to get on the court today and he couldn’t do it.’”
