Tony Parker Injury Thread

[Brazil]

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN 11s Spurs already listing Tony Parker as probable for Wednesday in Denver. So sounds like he'll play.

hope he is fine, I'd prefer him to rest more than to limb during a whole game not giving anything to the team

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN 12s Parker decides he's not probable after all. Will work out tomorrow, then decide about Denver.

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN 1m Parker will be listed as questionable, officially, for Denver. Boris Diaw (sore back) is out for Denver, day-to-day after that.

Parker must be feeling better if they're even thinking about playing him. Good news.

[freetiago]

Boris one could be intersting
i remember Bruno posting somethign about Boris missing games because of a back injury a few years ago
its been fine since then
but he has missed games this season because of it

[Spur|n|Austin]

What is game shape when you are hobbling around the court?

Just rest him for 2 weeks IMO..

I'm also on the idea of resting him til the playoffs start, why the not? He's hobbled by a plethora of things, the main seems to be exhaustion.

[timvp]

Sounds like relatively good news regarding Tony Parker

[bklynspursfan]

I thought for sure he'd be out if not the remainder of the reg season than this week at least. Going from probable to questionable just like that is a little odd. I wonder if they're waiting to see whether OKC can win in Utah tomorrow or not...

[Mugen]

Sit him out until the Laker game. Rest the key guys for Golden State. Let whoever needs it play against Minnesota (I wouldn't play Tim/Kawhi in the final game).

[TheGoldStandard]

I guess he wants to try to find a rhythm or see if he can play through it, look for Pop to limit his minutes if he looks like he's tanking.

[Bruno]

Parker on his radio show confirmed that these injuries were nothing serious. He still has an hematoma on the bone of his ankle but he doesn't sounded too worried by it. Parker also said that Ginobili's goal was to come back a couple of games before the playoffs to be in rhythm for the first round.

Everybody back for the Laker game

[DesignatedT]

Thanks Bruno

[DPG21920]

Oh boi!

[Robz4000]

Great news all around!

[Spur|n|Austin]

I hope TD can stay in the form he's been in, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if he was rested a game or even two.

Would be pretty awesome to deliver the knockout blow to them to keep em' out the playoffs.

Orgasmic. But we're seeing the rigging on levels reaching 2002 Game 6 Kings vs WWE.

That's probably what worries me the most about seeing them in the playoffs... The amount of help they'll get. Really pulling for Utah

TD is going to have a monster postseason you can feel it. He has rolled the clock back 5 years this season..

[Floyd Pacquiao]

great news all around but I still don't want him playing on wed. hold him out till next week imo

[hater]

Sorry but Parker has made a career of calling his injuries, "not a big deal" and "I'll be allright"

time for Pop to put his foot down. Can't believe Parker was even trotting out there vs OKC, looking like a limp noodle and didn't have the balls to tell Pop, "I need to sit"

goddam we have some stubborn fools in the team. From Pop to Manu thinking he's still in his 20s to Parker thinking if he can walk, he's good to play

[dbreiden83080]

Tony needs to sit or play very limited Min. He is telling everyone his ankle is still ed on top of other nagging problems, yet he wants to play in rather meaningless games before the playoffs.. Who cares about a 1 seed if Tony is limping all over the place..

[BillMc]

I'm disturbed by Skip Bayless's "sources" that tell him Parker's ankle won't heal until the off season.

[DesignatedT]

The bone bruise that a sprained ankle causes will continue to be there through the playoffs. It should get better with time and playing on it isn't really going to cause it to get worse. His ligaments should be close to healed but a bone bruise could take longer to heal. It might cause some discomfort but if he just has a bruise it isn't anything serious as long as his ligaments are healed from the sprain.

[superjames1992]

I'm disturbed by Skip Bayless's "sources" that tell him Parker's ankle won't heal until the off season.

I see he hasn't posted anything since April 6th about it, but he didn't say he was wrong, either. If he is right, we will have Parker this postseason, but he'll be a shadow of his normal self, probably, without his burst.

We'll see, but hopefully he's wrong. Bayless is a bit of a Spurs homer, though, so I don't imagine he would just make up.
