A welcome sight at the Spurs practice facility today: Manu Ginobili actually taking jump shots.
Ginobili hung around after practice to shoot some 3-pointers, under the watchful eye of the team's strength and conditioning staff. It was Ginobili's first significant on-court activity since last playing in a game, one month ago to the day. He has been battling a stress reaction in his right ankle.
"This is the first day he's had any movement on the court," coach Gregg Popovich said. "He's been on the court, stationary shooting. Today, he moved to shoot and that type of thing."
After the brief shooting session, Ginobili gathered with a Yalta Conference of athletic trainer Will Sevening, strength coach Mike Brungardt and head coach Gregg Popovich. Ginobili injured ankle appeared no worse for wear, but Ginobili will be re-evaluated Thursday to make sure.
He is still at least a week away from returning to game action.
