SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was injured Friday during the Olympic semifinal game against the United States.
Ginobili, playing for Team Argentina, injured the same ankle that bothered him in the NBA playoffs during the first quarter.
He didn't return to the game. It was not clear how severe the injury was.
Spurs officials had urged Ginobili to pass on the Olympics and rest the ankle, but he refused, saying it ankle felt fine.
Team USA defeated Argentina 101-81 to advance to the gold medal game against Spain on Sunday.

Olympics are over for injured basketball star Ginobili

(dpa) - Argentine basketball star Emanuel Ginobili is injured and will miss Sunday's game for Olympic bronze against Lithuania, Argentine team doctor Diego Grippo confirmed Friday.
"There is no chance that 'Manu' will recover. He will not play against Lithuania," Grippo said.
A recurring injury to his left ankle forced Ginobili to remain on the bench for most of Friday's semi-final, which saw defending champion Argentina lose to the United States, 101-81.
"Ginobili is in a lot of pain, he is very sad," Argentine coach Sergio Hernandez said.
The San Antonio Spurs shooting guard was on court for just 6 minutes and 21 seconds in the semi-final and scored 2 points before withdrawing at half-time.
Andres Nocioni may also miss the game against Lithuania.
"He has tendinitis in his left knee. We will see if he recovers," said Grippo.

Yet i'm sure this is why the US will beat Argentina..has nothing to do with his style of play or anything
yawn
Manu is limping with a bad ankle, GEE where have we seen this before??
damn!!!!
LMFAO!
Not funny.
P.S.
Manu had to be assisted off the court and was putting very little weight on his left ankle. Not sure if this is the same ankle that gave him problems before. 2008-2009 might be over before it even begins!!
What channel is this on?
ch 365 on dish network
Yeah, Ginobili going back to the locker room. He looks bad.
Since May I've been saying we need to move this China doll while his stock was still high. It's his own fault, hopefully we can acquire an asset soon.
Next....
Is that the same bum ankle?
This thread is lame, especially considering the OP is a Heat fan and Wade had to live in a bubble for 5 months just to be able to play.
This is an instance where I wish I didn't have to say "I told you so". That's precisely what Gregg Popovich is uttering right now...
What a joke.
Is this a joke? Or did he really hurt his ankle?
I have already turned the game off and will now go mow my grass...This day keeps getting better and better.
not a joke. Unfortunately.
this not on time warner cable?
No joke!!
Popovich is going to be PISSED.
all these guys celebrating Manu's injury.
Was watching it on 102
Lets see what happens if Kobe goes down...
Which I do not want to see.
