View Full Version : Parker should be back Friday against Memphis
http://www.rmc.fr/edito/sport/65025/parker-sur-le-retour/
it's from a big french radio station where TP has a broadcast.
TP and Manu back the same week. Hope we'll see Ian soon to see what this team at full strenght is able to do.

In one of the recent practice reports Tony looked to be moving gingerly still. It would appear as though it was still bothering him, I guess it's not that big of a deal. I'm still a bit skeptical especially seeing the way the twist occured. I wish they publicized rehab videos like Manu's, but just in larger quantities so fans can see exact progress. That probably wouldn't be a good thing especially in regards for the rest of the league seeing it, but i'm just interested.
this kind of injury can really give few days of DNP as much as two months. it's very difficult to know it only from the video of the game where it happens and Pop and the spurs staff aren't making it easier to know with their always very politically correct and over-cautious speech.
anyway, i'm still surprised that Pop allows tony to come back so soon and doesn't give him another week out. we'll see.

The injury itself looked bad but hopefully it just looked bad and isnt anything too drastic.

Parker needs to take his time even moreso than Manu. Manu's initial diagnosis was 8 to 12 weeks out of action and he missed 11 and a half weeks ... so it's not like he rushed back. Parker can't hurry just because Manu is back and he wants to help the Spurs get "whole" quicker.
Last season, Parker came back too fast from an ankle injury and then had to miss more time than if he would have just stayed out.

Am I right in thinking that Parker's ankle injury is a recurring problem that will eventually have to be surgically fixed? If so, then they really should bring him back slowly. In many ways Manu's situation is much better, because they did what had to be done and now he might be back to 100%. Parker seems to be in the same spot as Manu last year, which is to say that sooner or later the issue will have to be fixed.

Dang, Parker, Mason and Ginobili all back. Bad news for the rest of the league. I will admit when I'm wrong. I didn't think Hill would be anything. The guy is a rookie phenom. Kudos to Hill.
Spurs now have 4 guards who could be starters. All I can say is dayum!

I agree on this one I'm not confident at all I wish he will rest much more

agree. with ginobili slowly coming back we should be in good shape. We've been doing pretty good so far but parker seriously needs to be completely healthy before he comes back.

Parker's the one I worry about "rushing" back. Manu's ankle should be stronger than it was before his injury. Parker's won't be.

I dont know about Hill being a regular starter on a contender right now, but he'll get plenty of minutes and i have to admit i didnt think he would do much in his rookie year given his scoring struggles in the SL. The good thing is hes always got his D to contribute.

I don't see Parker back for another two weeks. This was a four week injury, at minimum.
Tony's ankle will require a lot of time and a lot of tape. :toast

Uh, well, we're above .500 now. Why would we rush Parker back if we're blowing out teams without him?

With Manu back and Hill playing fantastic ball of the bench. Parker can wait all he wants.....

Parker needs to chill till about the 18th of December.
Don't rush him back until he's 100%
We're doing good so far without him.

He should definitly not feel any pressure to rush back.

Its all good saying Parker can wait longer after a win over the Griz - but theres some tough games coming up and the Spurs are still the 8th seed.
He should come back as soon as hes ready.

The Spurs won't rush him back. But I think he'll be back sometime next week.

as far as ankle injuries go you can never be too cautious, especially when you're a team with a great backup at the position and the team is on a role. Why not let Mason and Hill get fully comfortable with Manu and build a great chemistry with him in Pop's system, and then go ahead and let them do the same with Parker no longer having to worry about Ginobili. As good as Hill, Mason and Manu looked tonight, they'll need Parker along with those 3 all healthy against LA to exploit LA's weak defensive guards (Fisher Farmar Vujabitch).
It's all hype I think, Manu really didn't return ahead of schedule, no coach/GM/training staff would ever clear a player to return from an ankle injury early, and they won't with Parker when the current team is winning as is. It's going to be interesting once Parker does come back because they are going to need some more passing and less scoring from him. He'll probably be happy he won't have such a huge offensive burden when he does come back.

why come back against MEM?
We don't need to him to win that game, he should wait a few more games!

Yeah, and now with Hill Pop has 3 legit threats to penetrate, and hopefully that lets Tim stay out more and have Bonner/Fab/KT/Toll put in to worry about grabbing boards and defending while Hill/Mason/Manu/TP handle the O. I bet Timmy is glad Hill turned out to be a gem. If he somehow averaged 30 minutes this season he could be in contention for ROY. But I know TP'll be back in a week, and that'll spell the end of Vaughn, thank god.

yeah he needs to take his time, the teamis far better than the couple first games.
And I was completely exstatic when I saw that Ginbili played today.

Parker said in an interview made one week ago that if he comes back this week, he won't really be at 100% and will play with some pain.
I just hope Parker don't rush his comeback and that he comes back that soon because the recovery has been quicker than expected and not because he has decided to play while his ankle hasn't fully recovered.
Given all the sprains he had at his right ankle, each sprain is a bad news that could end up having long term consequences. If he re-twists his ankle because he has decided to came back one week sooner, it would be quite a disaster.

He'll probably not have his speed, will be a only jump shooter for a few more weeks, but if his shot is as reliable as it was earlier, no worry.

What makes you think he needs another 3 1/2 weeks? Parker and the Spurs aren't idiots, they know the situation and that Parker needs to be healed before he gets back. If they feel comfortable bringing him back in a week then so be it. Nobody is in a better position to make that call than they are. Most people here didn't want Manu back until damn near January, but he looks good right now.

Even then, if Parker can average closer to 30 minutes per game, that should help him. I don't think it was a coincidence that his ankle have out on him after his 55 point performance where he had to carry the load for 50 minutes.
As a side note, it'll be interesting to see the starting lineup and the rotation once Parker gets back. TP has to start because you can't have TP and Hill as point guards coming off the bench. Does Finley or Bowen start at small forward? Who on the perimeter will lose the most minutes? It'll be interesting to see how Pop decides to go with it.

well, for this site, TP is still back tonight against memphis.
any info ?

If he's ready then by all means letum play. Only thing I would do is not play him much against the teams we have been currently beating. No need to play against sorry teams. And the Grizz are a sorry team. All things considered besides Houston n Dallas, have we really played anyone with a decent record? To many things are made up, based on us playing weaker teams. Im ready to play against some real teams. Thats the only way we will find out where we are.

Agreed, we have five potential offensive threats and it will be interesting to see whose minutes will be decreased and how that will affect their performance.

i think its good for tony to come back and start working on his rhythm and conditioning, and so they can get used to playing together. just ease him back real slow and let him take it easy.

Oh yeah. Nothing like them November/December games to really know where the team's going to stand come playoff time.

Even if he's 100% there still is a benefit to controlling his minutes. As long as the team continues to play well it makes a lot of sense to get as much playing time for Hill and Mason to give them experience and rest Manu and Tony for the playoffs.
Timmy!

whose Dang?
would be surprising that Pop lets him play......
