I think it will be worse than just a roll since he reportedly wasn't able to put any weight on it, but I doubt it's as bad as some of you are making it out to be..
oh yea. tell that to finleyQuote:

too bas he was improving game after game fuck I hope nothing serious
Yep, rolling your ankle hurts like shit. Doesn't mean he won't be able to walk on it in an hour and be fine tomorrow morning.Quote:

At least Hill is better every day so it's not like we have to use Vaughn.
This injury means nothing with regards to trading TP. If they were going to explore, it was going to happen no matter what. Which it isn't unless it is for Rose, Paul or D Will.Quote:

Hopefully it's nothing more than a roll and it all feels good for next game.
The silver lining here is Tony's plantar fascia will get a little rest.
I just hope Pop doesn't play Mason at PG
At least its negative
:pctoss
. . . I'm not gonna say it . . .
3-5 games out. blessing in disguise

Some cases of PF can be cured with 3-4 weeks in a boot, and we need Parker at or near 100% to do much in the postseason.
I think the only way the Spurs would consider trading Parker is for a better point guard (and that's not happening). They don't really think of Hill as a point guard anymore.Quote:

we need parker to win. better pray its not too serious
he stepted on a footQuote:

This injury is a hidden blessing. Pop and Tony were both being stubborn about resting him despite his plantar fasciitis, but now he can maybe take off most of the Rodeo Road Trip and it will force the team to play better defense or get their asses handed to them night after night.
Also, it will force Manu to step up, and that's a good thing too. We need to see if he can sink or swim.
this is exactly what i was thinkingQuote:

Official word on Parker: sprained left ankle, will not return. "X-rays taken at the AT&T Center were negative... timeline for his return will be determined Thursday or Friday ..."
Seriously, just rest him. No coming back too soon like early in the season...
I hated to see him tweak the ankle because he looked really quick tonight...
Now the rest of the guys need to hold the fort until Tony comes back...
Kind of agree with this too, in all parts. Looking for Ginobili to really step it up and get out of his shooting slump, jefferson to carry the offensive load more, and hill to grow a bit as a player, all while resting Tony.Quote:

So.. do we make a move for a third string PG?? who's out there that can be had for Finley's expiring?
lol no, unless this is season ending. Ginobili Mason and Hill can spend time at the PG just fine for a couple of weeksQuote:

One of the most sensible posts on here in a while. Good Job. :tuQuote:

Thank goodness Parker will miss some games. Now I'll finally have an excuse when the Spurs lose.
It sucks.
Parker's ankles are the weak link of his body. It's a little like Duncan and his knees. IIRC, it's the 14th time in his career than Parker sprains his ankle.
What sucks is that the most you sprain an ankle, the weaker it becomes and the result is an increase in the frequency and the gravity of the future sprains. Lately, TP has had some ankle sprains that he struggle to recover for. If this one is quite serious, TP could be out for an extended period of time.
Spurs have a roster spot available and they will likely use it to sing a PG to a 10 days or rest of the season contract. They can take the vet road with Antonio Daniels likely being the best option or sign a D-League PG. There is Curtis Jerrels in Austin but I don't know if he is good enough to be call up.
I think AD is getting a call as we speak... good post, BrunoQuote:

The return of Jacque Vaughn! :lobt2:Quote:

Now he will get some rest for his PF - the disguise. But Sean said in the game that he thinks TP will be out at least a couple of weeks min.Quote:

Weak ankles really suck and have to taped or at least some type of brace worn when playing.Quote:

Good points - I was thinking about AD when TP went down. And since he still has a house here He would most likely jump at that if the Spurs want to go there.Quote:

I would rather Mason/Bogans/ Manu get more time than to bring in AD. The only way I see the Spurs bringing in a point guard via free agency or even the D-League is if Hill or Manu were to get hurt along with TP.
Can he take his time with his recovery? I really hope he doesn't rush back. This could give him time to heal minor bumps and bruises, not to mention his ankle and PF.Quote:

I think the best idea is to see how long the Spurs can get away with Parker on the sidelines. If they can win some games, Parker can rest up and hopefully refuel. But if they start spiraling downward, Parker will have to limp back in to help save the season.
Let's hope Hill can do a nice point guard imitation and the rest of the team steps up.
Hallelujah!Quote:

Good news that TP sprain isn't a big one.
And Spurs will surely do a move after that injury. With Finely still out, Parker injured and Hairston in D-league, Spurs have only 11 players available: 6 are PF/C and 5 are PG/SG/SF. If Spurs don't sign someone to a 10 days contract, they will at least bring back Hairston from Austin.
We didn't anyway. It's just that now the Spurs realize it.Quote:

If the Spurs don't do anything, watching Mason run point guard or Manu try to break a full court press (or Hill make a play, for that matter) will only highlight the need for an emergency point guard over the next couple games.
Decent scorer, but doesn't have the whole point guard thing down yet, though he isn't bad at pick and rolls with Dwayne Jones. I'm less impressed with his defense than I was early on. If they're looking for a more complete point guard, Will Conroy just got back into the league -- if it's a poor man's Hill-type, Dontell Jefferson.Quote:

Keep him out as long as possible. No need to rush back from an injury, especially when he's already injured.
this team is going nowhere without TP. he needs to rest up and get healthy
Nah.. not going to win alot of games with TP out..Quote:

Phila Chamberlain really wants that Parker-Paul trade to go down LOL..do you write for HoopsWorld, my man?..
I say come back for the Lakers. That should be enough time for healing as long as he sticks to Will's complete plan for a ready-to-dominate ankle.
Ankle sprains can be minimized if treated properly from the point of injury. While it's true that the ligaments stretch when originally hurt, it's possible to keep them at their normal length with aggressive modalities and serious compression and anti-inflams and lots of ice for the next 48 hours. I still think it's a grade 2 and I can see 2 weeks easy with a possibility for a 3rd for precaution. Remember, we need this team healthy for the playoffs, because to lose any of the Big 3 for the playoffs means that losing is a strong possibility.
That's not going to happen, he isnt going anywhere. We need him. Tony will just get some rest, and he'll return to his place, maybe before the All star game, maybe afterwards. Let's hope he'll get over it soon. We are nothing without him.Quote:
