Probably a game-time decision. He was going to get it treated overnight and probably tomorrow as well...
Haven't heard anything other than he has a quad contusion.

meh, if he cant hurt it any further than he should play. Pretty big game.
knowing Pop hes probably out until the BOS game....
Manu usually plays horribly when hes injured though....

Jeff McDonald
... Hobbling out of Memphis, however, he didn’t look like an NBA player less than 24 hours from his next game.
...Leaving the arena Sunday, Ginobili was hoping — perhaps against hope — that compression machines would provide adequate healing powers to allow him to play against Portland.

Great. Make that 4 close losses in a row while Splitter wears his warm-ups
If he's not 100%, I wouldn't play him. Let him sit and heal for a couple of games.
Spurs will make playoffs and we need 2 of the big 3 to be healthy for a chance.
pop should of sat out manu and parker ...let the younger guys burn some legs
I don't think manu plays tomorrow
Rest him.. fragile time since we need to absolutely secure home court but confident that our bench steps up.
I'd be very surprised if Manu plays, given Pop's past precautions.
It's going to be a painful game and 4th straight loss to peaking playoffs opponents, while the Spurs crater. The season record is looking more and more like Mavs-style fool's gold.
We're seeing these injuries and these 4th quarter melt-downs because the team's is exhausted and (I hate to say it) disoriented by tinkering Pop should have finished with before the AS break.
Pop needs to concede this Blazers game, DNPCD the starters, and give the bench some time to work on their defense.
He shouldn't play. HCA is fool's gold if we don't have our big 3 healthy... no need to risk it.
i'm conceding tonight and hoping we get manu back for the celtics and timmy back for the rockets.
we have to win against the following:
celtics, rockets, kings, hawks, suns (twice) and jazz
I agree manu sucks when he is injured. Let him rest and get heathly. Step it up jefferson!
Wrongo magic # is 6 for HCA scratch Celts from that list.
As far as next couple games, would like to see JA play and Splitter crunch time mins.
Don't get your hopes up.
I agree. Let Manu rest.
Sit his ass down for a few games. Give Neal more minutes.
dude you're fantasizing and dreaming the same dream i've been dreaming for the past 6 months now...
Just came over the wire, out for tonight.
Spurs.com:
.Manu Ginobili Out Tonight vs. Portland
Manu Ginobili (left quad contusion) will not play in tonight’s game vs. Portland
uh-oh, spaghetti-o!
Probably another loss tonight thenGet well Manu.
You could tell that Manu, Tony, and even Hill ran out of gass last night and just didn't have anything to give. I don't care if we loose the next one but Manu is probably just as important as David in needing him to have fresh legs during the playoffs.
