After sitting out Monday's game with back spasms, Manu Ginobili appears ready to return Wednesday against the Rockets.

The Spurs medical staff listed him as probable, but they're waiting to see how Ginobili responds at shootaround before making a final determination. Check back on Wednesday afternoon, but it sounds safe to activate him.

If he's still not fully recovered, it would be better to rest.

Conference game, divisional game, Luis is on the other team, we just got embarrassed. Manu has always been aware of his effect on the team, and it was just made apparent how much these guys need that element right now. We've known for days that he would play.

With so few games left, I'm starting to hope for more information on when Parker will return to practice, shootarounds, and finally games.

No Ginoboli, no Parker, and Duncan having an off night. Take away 2 of the big 3, and the other ineffective, and you basically have a lottery team.

Today is a MUST WIN. Manu will have to play bad back or not.

He is likely to be back during the last week of the regular season, Jeff McDonald says.

the earliest I see him coming back is w/3 games to go vs. Denver.

But most likely for the 2 last games of the season. Wolves + Mavs.

Guard @ManuGinobili (http://twitter.com/ManuGinobili) said at shootaround that he feels fine & expects to play tonight, but it will be up to Coach Pop. #GoSpursGo (http://twitter.com/search?q=%23GoSpursGo)

The injury was a lie and he will play, he could have played against the nets as well. Pop just choose to rest him.

Love to believe that but meh... I saw him grimacing badly and holding his back when they played Boston. This was no fake injury.

from manu before NJ game:


I must have made a strange move that started to hurt a lot. A pain that got worse. When I lay down it hurt and when I got up in the morning too. Now for example at the game time it doesnt hurt so much. But no, Im not ready to play. So I rest tonight but I think I'll be ready for wednesday
