Jeff McDonald: Manu is in
LOS ANGELES -- After missing the past five games with a sprained index finger, Manu Ginobili will make his return this afternoon against the Clippers.
At least that's what Gregg Popovich says. Ginobili jokes he will believe it when he sees it. He even brought his sport coat with him to the Staples Center, in case Popovich changes his mind.
Popovich says he won't. He's tired of seeing Ginobili in street clothes.
"That's the only reason," Popovich said.
Ginobili originally injured the finger Dec. 22 against these same Clippers. He said he could have played two games ago against Denver, and partially expected to.
"He's been on me for a while," Popovich said in his pre-game pow-wow with reporters this afternoon. "I kept him out a little longer than he would have liked. I'd rather err on the conservative side, especially this early in the season."
Ginobili says he's itching to get back on the floor.
"It's been a long time, or at least it seems like it," Ginobili said. "I'm happy to get out there and help our team win and get back into a rhythm."
Ginobili is averaging 19.2 points per game, the lion's share of the league-leading 38.8 per game the Spurs' bench accounts for.
yeah... the Big 3 back together again!![]()
Nice. Welcome back, Manu!
no love for Bruce?
Bruce = Spurs 3.5

Are you saying Bruce is half a man?
he is not 100%. what's the rush?!![]()
So far Manu's struggling with his shot but he's doing alright so far.
If the Spurs lose today does that mean Barry is the team MVP?
But the Spurs are going to win
See what happens when the best trio in all of basketball plays together? Now hopefully Timmy is okay.
yeah, a 29-3 record
It is nice to see Manu again! BTW, he played great this afternnoon!
Manu, Tim, Tony...everyone else..especially Finley..SUCKED..not a good sign.
We'll see what happens when that times comes. but Spurs trio has accomplished way more than the Celts thats for sure.

Vs Clippers today:
417 FG%, .923 FT%, 23 Pts, 5 Rbds, 2 Asts, 2 TO, 0 Stls, 1 Blk, 1 3PTs
