Jeff McDonald: Ginobili expected to play

A sign that tonight's season finale against Utah remains significant for the Spurs: Manu Ginobili is expected to play.

Ginobili has missed the past three games with a strained groin, and coach Gregg Popovich vowed to play it safe with his leading scorer. The last thing he wanted was an injured Ginobili heading into the postseason.

After shootaround this morning, Popovich sent word through team spokesman Tom James that Ginobili is likely to give it a go.

We'd guess it didn't take too much convincing from Ginobili.

It's an important game for the Spurs. A victory would make the difference between opening the playoffs at home, or going on the road -- most likely against the Jazz or Suns.

Bring on the JAZZ.... its MANU TIME!!!

[NASpurs]

Barry and Manu are going to get big ovations tonight. It's Barry's first time to play a home game since the injury right?

[xtremesteven33]

time for the Mango trees....

[Shaolin-Style]

Has he stated hes feeling fine?

A few more days off could do him good if hes not 100 percent recuperated.

[DarrinS]

great news, thanks.

[MannyIsGod]

Has he stated hes feeling fine?

A few more days off could do him good if hes not 100 percent recuperated.He wanted to play the last 2 games.

[FromWayDowntown]

He wanted to play the last 2 games.

Manu could be missing a leg and an arm and would still think he was ready to go.

[JoeChalupa]

Manu is ready. The Pop is wise.

this has to be a put-on right?

No one could actually be this moronic, sheep-like, and illiterate, and be able to type on a keyboard without drooling all over it.

Spurs vs Suns in Round 1.

Excellent!

[FromWayDowntown]

There's nothing about tanking that makes any sense to me and, in fact, it makes far more sense to play Game #82 all-out in my mind.

Win tonight, and the Spurs can at least have HCA over all but 2 teams in the West; lose tonight, and the Spurs will have HCA over only 3 teams in the West.

It makes no sense to intentionally play in a manner that will put your team in the most adverse circumstances for the longest period of time during the playoffs. Better to have HCA in Round 1, and at least have the possiblity of getting back at some point than to play poorly by intention and risk the chance that you'll never start at home.

If Manu is healthy, he should play and play a lot.

[T Park]

Win the game

hope the Suns win

hope the Clippers win

Play the Rockets in round 1 :)

[FromWayDowntown]

Puro Pinche Manu Y Puro Pinche Spurs!!!!

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

I was hoping he would sit


seeding doesn't mean ANYTHING if Manu gets hurt

[ancestron]

whatever man, you're hoping he sits so the Spurs lose.

go stroke it to your Scola poster some more and pop another paxil.

[vanvannen]

If he gets reinjured then he is a wuss and should buy a pair of nuts.

[Budkin]

We are so going to win this game.

If Manu is healthy, he should play and play a lot.I agree with you, but this season it has appeard that Pop has not. It is frustrating as a fan (not telling you anything you dont know) to never know whether the team you are watching is giving its all. Obviously, at this point, praying it HASN'T - if there ain't much "more" this is going to be a short post-season!

That said, I don't think Pop "tanks", I think he plays to stay healthy - and maybe to not give away strategerie that might be used later - when it matters more (that military mind of his).

Amen.

Manu could be missing a leg and an arm and would still think he was ready to go.

Manu: It's just a flesh wound!

Pop: Your arm's off!

Manu: I've had worse!

As I remember Pop always was playing Manu off the bench when he was back after an injury.

You should get a doctor to look at it.
