Ginobili ankle injury raises questions
By Jeff McDonald on Feb 18, 2009 6:24 PM

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Manu Ginobili has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Pistons, as well as the final game of the Spurs' rodeo road trip against Washington on Saturday.

Ginobili missed Tuesday's loss at New York, remaining in San Antonio for tests and treatment on what the team has termed a sore right ankle.

The Spurs did not disclose the scope and severity of his injury Wednesday. A source within the organization says the injury in not considered a threat to end Ginobili's season.

Ginobili underwent a battery of tests Tuesday, including an MRI. Team doctors are scheduled to meet with coach Gregg Popovich, general manager R.C. Buford and athletic trainer Will Sevening on Thursday to discuss the findings.

I'm just having trouble swallowing the "just resting" Theory. Spurs had that long stretch of days off right after the Denver game (in which he DNP) then more during the all star break. That would be totally awesome if this is all it is but I just can't by it.

this is a result of overcompensating for the then healing left ankle. kinda like how amare had to undergo arthroscopic surgery on one knee after having surgery on the other.
