Wonder if this will get Haislip some extended PT...
I see a couple of you popping champagne bottles.Already missing center Matt Bonner (broken hand) and guard Michael Finley (sprained left ankle), the Spurs will also be without starting forward Richard Jefferson, who will sit with a lower back injury.

Bonner is back today
When did he get hurt? I seem to remember him holding his back but I can't remember the play.
Well that sucks. Durability was one of his best traits. Hopefully it's nothing long term.
hope he hasn't lost his hot 3pt shooting
Starting lineup?
Parker/Mason/Bogans/Duncan/Blair
That leaves Manu and Hill as swingman reserves. Very little if any small ball.
Hill is going to get the start next to Tony and Bogans i would guess
RJ is out with back spasms.
Jefferson out against Hornets
By Jeff McDonald
The injury carousel keeps on turning for the Spurs heading into this afternoon's game at New Orleans
The short version: Antonio McDyess is back from neck spasms. Matt Bonner is back from a fractured hand. Richard Jefferson is out with back spasms.
The injury has been bothering Jefferson for a few days -- and helps explain his 0-for-6 performance at Memphis on Saturday -- but he apparently kept the pain to himself until recently.
"He finally owned up to it," coach Gregg Popovich said.
As such, Jefferson -- who played a full 82 games each of the past two seasons -- will miss his first game since March 6, 2007 while with the Nets. His absence will break a string of 223 consecutive starts and games played.
The Spurs briefly toyed with the notion of recalling Malik Hairston from Austin to take Jefferson's place on the active roster. Hairston, sent to the D-League on Thursday, is in New Orleans Arena today as a potential insurance policy, but Popovich has decided against activating him.
Had Hairston been active, it would have counted as his second call-up of the season. Teams are allowed to recall players only three times throughout the course of a campaign.
Instead, Popovich decided to activate Bonner, who has been out since fracturing his hand against Indiana on Dec. 19. It is uncertain whether Bonner will get in the game against the Hornets, but he will be available if Popovich needs him.
I don't even remember seeing him hold his back, wish I recorded that game. I'll have to take advantage of the free online league pass.
So much for Mr. durability.
Hope Jefferson isn't out for long. That's all we need. More minutes piled on for Ginobli who already looks gassed lately.
Tough loss here, I was interested to see how he responded to Pop calling him soft
Whatever happened to Finley? Isn't he suppose to be back?
Damn, and that just needed to happen when he is with us. Nice, very nice.
Hopefully it's a very short term thing.
Parker/Bogans/Bonner/Duncan/Blair
In all seriousness, I doubt Bonner will get more than 10 minutes, unless his shot is really hitting.
Time to see some Haislip extended time
RJ banging with those PF too MUCH
this is pop's fault
Tough loss.
Law of averages - NBA players of his type/quality (or any, really) rarely spend multiple consecutive seasons without injury.
Figures. That was why he only played 21 minutes against the Grizzlies, and you people said he sucked.
Hill starting in RJ place
I don't critique a player's performance based on one game.
Did I hit a sore spot on something?
That's good news.
I just hope his finger doesn't hurt what he does best: shoot the ball.
