JA Adande said a rib injury to Manu. Pop said "we may have lost him again"
The Spurs will make a move. If Pop was concerned (correct?) about Tiago before, he's not going to roll into the playoffs counting on him.

I feel bad for Ginoli and the team but I don't worry about it like previous seasons. We have the guards to cover for his absence now.
What worries me is how the team is going to cover for Splitter.
Sorry dp.
@manuginobili suffered a strained left oblique muscle in the second half of today's game.

Strained left oblique muscle. No timetable
Okafor had a grade 2 version of Manu's injury and missed 2 weeks.
Yikes.
So yeah we'll be without Ginobli for a bit.
How bad a strained muscle can be? I don't sound that serious
Wow Manu. Ridiculous
well thats a new one for manu
Silver lining: injuries now are the only way to have Manu healthy for the start of the playoffs
Oblique injuries are common and pretty serious in baseball. Will have to research on how long it usually keeps someone out of the NBA . . .
Danny Ferry has called two games: Manu's broken hand game and this one.
It isn't a bad time for injury. Spurs have a light schedule and there is the all star break. For example, Spurs have 6 games in the next 17 days.
1-3 weeks.
Bending or twisting the trunk in a forceful or improper way can lead to a muscle strain of the obliques , according to the State of Victoria Better Health Channel website. Muscle strains are categorized based on their severity. If there is no significant injury to the oblique muscles, the sprain is considered a grade one or minor sprain. The main symptom is stiffness and difficulty moving the trunk, and there may be muscle soreness and visible bruising. Grade one sprains usually require avoiding movements that aggravate the symptoms and may take two to three weeks to heal.

For those of you without visible abdominal muscles, the obliques are are somewhere between your beer belly and your love handles.
He also blogged about TJ Ford the day of TJ Ford's injury
In baseball you twist your hips/waist to swing at a ball. That is why it is serious in baseball. Not so much in basketball. He will be out for a week.
Damn, would have loved to see both of them in action Tuesday night in Portland. Time to sign the white gorilla Pryzbilla!
That's a new one for Manu, a strained vagina muscle.
This is just frustrating as much as I like the dude.
From the sounds of things, the injury isn't a really bad one. The problem is getting him back into game shape. This is a setback on top of a setback. I know a lot of people will go on about how much time there is left in the season. But it's shorter than you think. There's definitely a chance that this affects who starts and who comes off the bench come playoff time.
