Robert Horry, who injured his right knee in the third quarter of Wednesday’s Spurs win over the Los Angeles Clippers, was moving better after the game.

After banging his knee, his kneecap popped in and out.

The injury sounds more serious than it is, Spurs officials said.

The team doesn’t expect Horry to miss more than a game, if that.

Meanwhile, forward Linton Johnson III flew to Indianapolis to have his left foot re-examined by the doctor who performed his surgery.

Johnson had surgery on Nov. 23 to repair a stress fracture. Depending on how his much his foot has healed, he could soon be cleared to begin participating in some basketball-related drills.

Horry will probably play. He's been laying dead on the court multiple times in the last few weeks ... only to come back into the game. I guess he still has some Hollywood in him.

That is interesting news about Linton. I'm guessing that it might be too late to activate him, but maybe they'd put Wilks on IR and bring him in. Personally, I'd rather Wilks stay on board and work Linton in next year.

Was it a dislocation?

That's usually never serious.
