Forward Sean Marks sprained his back Thursday and did not accompany the Spurs to New York.
He was examined by the team's doctors, but it was not immediately known how long he will be sidelined. :(
Marks has played well during training camp, earning the praise of his coaches and teammates. He is competing for a spot on the team's active roster.
Forward Linton Johnson III (sprained left ankle) also will not play in Saturday afternoon's exhibition opener against New York.
The Spurs will work out today at Madison Square Garden.
Stick to your day jobs: The Spurs might not have practiced Wednesday, but they didn't completely take the day off.
Coach Gregg Popovich instead took the team to play softball.
"I was able to track down a few fly balls," Brent Barry said.
For some of the team's international players, it was their first opportunity to play the sport. Angolan guard Valter Monteiro had to be told more than once to drop the bat before running to first base. :lol
Robert Horry was one of the best players, so it wasn't a surprise to learn he's a baseball fan.
"I try to watch as much as possible," Horry said. "I'm kind of a 'Stros fan."
