Parker strained his right quadricep in the Spurs’ victory over New York Wednesday night. Parker has been banged up with assorted other bumps and bruises since the All-Star Game and will miss his second game of the season. The only other game he has missed was the Spurs’ season-worst 137-97 loss at Portland on Feb. 2.
“We had an MRI that we checked out to see if it was torn or ruptured,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “It wasn’t. He could probably go out and play, but that doesn’t make any sense.”
