Manu was mentioning 5-10 games to get back in decent shape, before this one.
Assuming this is 10 day/ two weeks, it won't be before the 20/25th of March that Ginobili will be back in acceptable conditions.
I don't like Manu with muscle injuries because they tend to linger with him
In the Manu Ginobili injury power rankings, I prefer broken bones, tbh.

im more worried about Tiago at this point, tbh.
Depends on how much was affected. I can't tell when he hurt it. It's the grade of injury that will tell us how long he could be out.
The bad thing is for a player like Ginobili, any hard quick twitch move would result in some pain. They will probably go with localized treatment and give it at least 48 to treat any inflammation. Happy that the AS break is coming soon. Ginobili's body is an issue but I think both he & Tiago are going to play huge come playoff time, so I consider this latest malady, just another bump in the road. Hopefully, TD & TP can keep up their synergy.
Shawn Marion only missed 3 games with a strained oblique in 2010. Hopefully Manu heals as quickly.
More concerned about the bigs... I expect to see a lot of Bonner-Blair or RJ at PF
A lot of small ball coming up. Thank god we have Kawhi Leonard now. He can at least get away with playing some 4. I think.
Spurs simply cannot play rotating 3 bigs, that's for sure.
So yes, Splitters' injury is more worriesome.
He said he hurt it against DET.
Tiago's injury right now is more worrisome. Hopefully this forces the Spurs hand into doing something.
Who hurt what against Detroit?
Gino hurt his oblique against DET, sorry.
We should have a vbookie bet on when Manu will score 20 points in a single game again (whoever guesses the closest wins, regardless of whether you overshoot or undershoot)
OK, thanks.
Did they say if Manu actually told anyone or did he just try to play through it without saying anything?
They didn't say.
Figure all-star break minimum for both guys, and maybe a week longer after that. Our first game after the break is the 29th against the Bulls.
i think Manu's back for the Bulls game. Tiago probably not til the next Clipper game on Mar. 9th.
I'm thinking Pop will be even more careful with bringing Tiago back now that he's injured his calf again and probably no chance he gets 25+ mins til HOPEFULLY the playoffs.
hopefully derrick rose takes this game off for his back injury woes...
What are the chances that Manu is healthy for the beginning of the playoffs and can remain healthy for the entire postseason? That is one of the main reasons why I can't convince myself to consider this team more than a fringe contender.
And regarding Splitter, now Pop really won't start him. And Pop will have more fuel for his "Splitter is always hurt" fire.
From now to after all-star break is 10 days rest. Hopefully both can heal up in that time
depending on severity gino will be out anywhere from 2-6 weeks as for splitter who knows i guess
Might be some truth to it. Regarding Splitter's playing time, its easy to say Pop's stubborn, set in his ways, etc..., but if Splitter is injury prone, its hard to not worry about overplaying him imo.
So Pop was right all along about Tiago? Ha.
Speaking of injuries: what the is going on with TJ Ford? With Manu and Splitter out, Tony will get worn down even more trying to carry the team. If TJ isn't coming back soon, at some point Pop has to play Neal more and Parker less because Joseph is not going to cut it this year based on what we've seen so far.
Well somebody is getting a big head after his GQ photoshoot.
