Looks like he is more than doubtful for tomorrows game. :flag:

[TE]

How is he more than doubtful if there is more of a chance he'll play?

SAN ANTONIO (AP)—Spurs guard Manu Ginobili(notes) may play in Game 1 against the Memphis Grizzlies after all.

Tony Parker(notes) said Saturday he’s feels it’s “almost impossible” that his All-Star teammate won’t play Sunday. Ginobili sprained his right elbow in Wednesday’s regular season finale at Phoenix, but has already been practicing.

He tweeted Thursday that the pain was already almost gone. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich still lists Ginobili as doubtful for the series opener.

Ginobili is San Antonio’s second-leading scorer, averaging 17.4 points.

The Grizzlies wouldn’t mind the Spurs being cautious. Having never won a playoff game in franchise history, Memphis will take all the help it can get.

They're just repeating what TP and others said at practice. Nothing new.

[Bruno]

It looks more and more that Manu's injury isn't that serious and that he will play tomorrow. Pop keep telling he is doubtful to let Memphis in the dark.

[concken]

Pop was pissed when a reporter asked if it was a game-time decision. He repeated multiple times that Manu is listed as doubtful and he's remaining that way.

Pop would never resort to such CIA tactics...

would he? :hat

I'd sit him.
I called the hyper-extension.
I called the brace with the limiting mechanism.
I called that it would take almost a week for it to be relatively pain free.

I'd sit him because I call that the Memphis Grizzlies will whack the hell out of his arm once he is in the game.

Sit him until game 2 and that brace will be reduced to a McDavid Arm Sleeve with Hexagonal padding. Those thunder chops will feel like rain with a healed elbow.

Well, if that was one of your calls, it was dead wrong.

From Manu's tweet THE NEXT DAY (Thursday 4/14)


MRI showed an elbow sprain (Ulnar collateral ligament). I'm doubtful 4 sunday. Hope to make it. The pain is almost gone. Thx!

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I'm with MiB. He's not playing.

[Jimcs50]

I'll bet wine that he plays today


:toast

[Giuseppe]

Yep, he's playing. Pop is like Deep:::pants, they be all afire.

[Sii]

Manu said days ago the pain was almost gone. its not taking a week. If he is ready to go you play him. You dont "rest" or sit down players in the playoffs if they can possibly go

There is a reason Parker and others think he is playing.

Pop told 'em to think that way. They don't fart without Pop decreeing it.
