Mike Monroe: Tony Parker returning tonight

The Spurs are back at full strength.
An hour-and-a-half before tipoff for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Spurs announced that All-Star point guard Tony Parker, out since spraining his left ankle on Nov. 7, would suit up for the game at AT&T Center.
Parker suffered a Grade 2 sprain of the left ankle as he drove the baseline and left his feet for a shot attempt in the first quarter of a game against the Miami Heat. The initial diagnosis was for Parker to be out for at least four weeks.
Parker missed only nine games, and the Spurs went 7-2 in those nine. He scored a career-high 55 points, high score by any NBA player this season, in the Spurs' first victory, a 129-125 double-overtime triumph over the Minnesoa Timberwolves on Nov. 5.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich reported last week that Parker appeared to be ahead of schedule for a return to action. The 2007 NBA Finals MVP has been participating in practice activity for more than a week.
Manu Ginobili, the Spurs' other All-Star guard, returned on Monday after missing the first 12 games of the season. Ginobili had off-season surgery to repair a left ankle impingement.
the savior isn't back yet.The Spurs are back at full strength.
ksat just echoed this statement...good luck tp good bye Jock
good news
Get ready for the best Spurs lineup since 2005. Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Mason, and Hill. We will go 58-10 the rest of the season if everyone stays healthy.
Stop dreaming pal.
I think this team is perfectly capable of beating Memphis without Parker. Is he rushing into this?
no center.
although i wouldn't mind the spurs playing small ball more often than not.
don't proclaim the spurs champs yet.
we still have the lakers to beat, not to mention all the other good western conference teams.
At least he's been more optimistic of the Spurs' chances than you:
It'd be great to see Hill and Mason start tonight, with Manu and Tony coming off the bench-- the greatest second team backcourt in nba history!
Pop NEVER rushes players back into action, and in fact is usually holding them back. If he's playing, he's cleared by the med staff and Pop, no mean feat.
If you hold him back now, he comes back during the tough stretch. Let him get in a few warmup games.
Agree, but maybe he won't play so much, and they look at this game to get him back into game shape and condition. That way when the big one comes, he'll be ready.
Today is a training against Memphis. It is more simple for TP.
Tomorrow : Houston.
Tuesday : Detroit.
Thursday : Denver.
3 big games in a row. A real test.
Good point.
he will play 10 mins like Manu .
When I wrote that the Spurs in fact were a weak team and it showed on the court.
Dont bring old back when we already got Manu and Parker is about to come back.
Already with the "that wasn't what I meant" defense?
Jeez, you can't even backpedal out of the stupid things you say correctly.
So the Spurs had a bad initial stretch. The fact that this depleted squad won as many games as it did already proves you were dead wrong.
Nice, our team is steadily improving and getting better in health terms. Donīt write us off yet... Our season is just starting.
No it was actually a bad team.Already with the "that wasn't what I meant" defense?
Jeez, you can't even backpedal out of the stupid things you say correctly.
So the Spurs had a bad initial stretch. The fact that this depleted squad won as many games as it did already proves you were dead wrong.
George Hill and Mason just stepped it up. Finley has his games but he is a kind of an off, on guy. It was abit more then a bad initial stretch, they flat out sucked. Get your stuff straight.
Mason, Hill, and Finley were still a part of the Spurs when you declared the team 'one of the weakest in the NBA'.
So your astute analysis comes down to 'when Mason, Hill and Finley play well, the Spurs are a good team; when they don't, the Spurs are one of the weakest in the NBA'?
Brilliant. Sheer genius.
Hey guys......do u smell that? do u smell that? do u ? do u? It's the rest of the NBA ting their pants now suckas! haha wooo!
No you dumb bell.Mason, Hill, and Finley were still a part of the Spurs when you declared the team 'one of the weakest in the NBA'.
So your astute analysis comes down to 'when Mason, Hill and Finley play well, the Spurs are a good team; when they don't, the Spurs are one of the weakest in the NBA'?
Brilliant. Sheer genius.
The team struggles when 1 of the biggest star is out..
Your stupid self is acting like the Spurs were playing like hot when they started the season. They were struggling at first. Get a grip and come back to reality my friend.
Oh and just so you know I wrote that Finley is an off/on kind of player, not Mason or Hill so stop twisting what I said pal.
If he does play, I'm gonna be ting myself the whole night just like with Manu. With an ankle, you need to play at least ten games at full strength before I'll stop worrying.
