Parker back in San Antonio !!!!

[Pauleta14]

From "L'équipe" website

http://www.lequipe.fr/Basket/breves2...n-antonio.html

Info L'Equipe : Tony Parker ne jouera pas le match de repêchage pour l'Euro contre l'Italie. En effet, après avoir pris connaissance des examens médicaux passés par le meneur français, le staff des San Antonio Spurs lui a demandé de rentrer au Etats-Unis. "TP" prend donc l'avion vendredi matin pour retourner dans son club. En l'état actuel des choses, sa participation aux autres matches de qualification pour l'Euro est suspendue.


After the SA staff had seen the Xray, they asked him to come back at once...

ps: I'm not a good translator, so if one of the french ST ...

I thought this was a joke response to "Odom back in L.A.," which actually didn't worry me that much. Now I feel sick. I'm hoping the Spurs just used whatever excuse they could to get him away from international play for a couple weeks.

[Pauleta14]

They probably don't wanna take any risks with the promising/costly upcoming season!

[Spursfan092120]

It basically says he will not play. The Spurs, after seeing the medical exam told him to return, and the participation in the rest of the qualification matches are suspended. At least that's what I got out of it. Others could do better, I'm sure. This is only from 2 years in French class in High School

My crappy widget-provided translation. Anybody who actually knows French, feel free to correct me.

Tony Parker will not play the repechage match for the Euro against Italy. Indeed, after reading medical examinations provided by France, the staff of the San Antonio Spurs asked him to return to the United States. Tony takes the plane Friday morning to return to his club. In the present situation, his participation in other qualifying matches for Euro is suspended.

"tony will not play against italy. Indeed, after seeing the results of the Xray, the spurs staff asked him to come back to SA. So tony is flying to SA friday morning. For now, he may not play the remaining games"

Thanks!
Perfect translation, it wasn't that hard indeed!
I must admit I was just fed up...

Anyway, I still hope the french team can still get the last ticket for the european championship without TP.
Maybe he can be back for the start of the tournament...

[timaios]

So the Spurs medical staff doesn't know how to take a plane for France ?

If he is ACTUALY injured, he knows it's the best for him (even if he won't admit it publicly)...

Good.

So the Spurs FO are killing his dreams. I am sure Tony will be pleased with that.

The damn French doctors need to stop lying about TP's injuries if they ever want to build trust. Every time TP gets injured, the French doctors claim it's a "very minor" injury. And then we find out it isn't.

Instead of rushing to deem everything as very minor, actually take a look at it with an eye that isn't solely wanting Parker to help the Franch NT. I've somewhat supported Parker's participation this summer but this is getting ridiculous.

[loveforthegame]

I don't see how this is good news. Just as I don't see the Spurs using this as an excuse to make him return to SA and prevent him playing with the NT without cause.

If Parker is flying back, he realizes something is wrong. TP knows that the Spurs technically can't prevent him from playing.

That makes me worry about the severity of the injury because TP obviously loves his NT and would play injured if he could. He has to actually be hurt.

Bruno seems to use the same French doctor defense by backing up all of their claims. Glad to hear they are being extra cautious about it.

sucks for parker, hope its not serious

it seems like way too little info though for people to be drawing conclusions so soon

TP doesn't understand at all why Spurs wants that he come back to SA.
He comes back because he had to follow Spurs order.

What does the translation say exactly? That he's coming to SA for evaluation?

Do you have a quote or are you just assuming? And Parker doesn't have to follow the Spurs' order during the summer. Manu sure didn't last summer . . .

France NT has also got many other decent players besides TL, even without TL that team still isn't a scrub. I think the international games are easily overwhelmed by the health and durability of a player in long term. 82 games plus post season are exhausting enough for most NBA players, and they deserve a summer of vacation. TL's france NT had better spend a minute checking the case of Yao, who has been already worn out by the tedious endless international games summer in and summer out.

[DPG21920]

He should be playing for the NT. He just needs to be careful and the Spurs should come first imo, because that is how he makes his living. The Spurs and the French NT need to be working together and put everything on the table.

It's god-given rights for players to take good care of their health, as it is already old conception that a player should fight till he loses the last drip of this blood. A healthy TL will serve his NT for many more years, getting him injured isn't good news for either side. The Spurs and France NT are actually on the same boat in terms of using TL, the only different between them is just Spurs know the situation while France NT doesn't.

Je suis obligé de suivre les injonctions de mon club mais j'espère revenir au plus vite pour participer aux qualifications avec l'équipe de France.

Parker: "San Antonio has urgently asked me to come back to be seen by Franchise doctors. I honestly don't understand this decision despite all the test realized in common with French NT doctors and Spurs. I regret what happens. I must follow Spurs' order but I hope to be back quickly to play Euro qualifications with French NT."
