Spurs coach Gregg Popovich offered a further update on injured Tony Parker before Sunday’s game, describing his strained left hamstring as “very painful” but saying that the six-time All-Star should be back in the near future.
“He saw the doctor with the MRI, and it’s basically going to be his confidence level, how he feels in a couple of workouts,” Popovich said. “But so far, the MRI looks good, but he’s got some (swelling) in there. It’s very painful. We’ll just see how his body works through that. But it’s not going to be a very long time. These four days (off) were very important for him.”
Parker sat for the 10th time in the past 13 games on Sunday. He’s averaging 16.2 points and 5.2 assists in his 14th season. Popovich had said before Saturday’s game in New Orleans that Parker would be out “a while” with the strain, which has forced him to the bench on two instances since the initial injury on Dec. 5.

An update on Leonard sure would be nice.
Let him rest tbh
Yeah...as much as I love Parker, I think we can hold the fort down fine with CoJo/Mills. Kawhi is much more important at this point...our defense has really taken a hit with him out. Outside of Green we have no halfway decent perimeter defenders.
Let me know when you find the second PG on the roster (excluding Parker).
Tony should take his time, tbh, hold him out until 2016 IMO..
Ahead of the 3rd PG (Parker)
I agree- last year they did OK without Parker. That was when Mills really came into his on. That said, Mills is not a pure point guard, but works really well with Manu.
Problem with Cojo is his outside shot doesn't command the respect that mills does so the spacing with him isn't as good.
I want TP back ASAP... We need to figure out if we can count on him for the remainder of the regular season...
Last year our secret to success was keeping pace or slightly beating the starters of most teams, and then having our bench whip their second unit. We've missed Mills's change of pace and outside shooting, but couple that with Manu and Belineli and Diaw and we should wreck havoc on second units once again. I'm not sure of what COJO's role will be once Parker is back, but Mills was always slated as the 2nd unit "point guard" though really Manu is the second unit point guard and Mills is the shooting guard.
Parker is quite clearly the best point guard on the Spurs, but Cojo has been scary good and Mills is fresh off the turnip truck. Manu and KA can also run the point adequately this season.
Cojo has been doing work. Now Mills is back. When Parker is 100%, I think it is impossible for me to complain about our PG spot with those 3 guys.

Come on xellos, you aren't new here. Every time Parker scores more than 20 or doesn't have double digit assists, people will be calling for his head.
I edited my post. Thanks for the catch.
SIX TIME ALLSTAR
Parker could drop 20, 5, and 8 tomorrow on 8 shots for a +/- of +25 for the game, and SpursTalk would about him playing too many minutes with Mills available.
And they would blame him for not passing to Kawhi on the bench.
Strange that backup PG has always been a weakness and now it's a strength. Now it's SF backup that's the problem.
Spurs just won a championship with Parker playing mediocre ball for the entire run, tbh..they beat Portland and OKC in the close-out games without Parker on the floor..their best stretches vs. the Heat were with Parker on the bench, too..
Tony is a luxury when he's on, he can make the Spurs unstoppable if his body is right, but he hasn't been vital for the Spurs since 2012-2013(his dominant season)..Spurs can survive without him, it's an easy position to fill..they have absolutely no chance at surviving without Kawhi, though, they would get worked in the 1st round, tbh..

Losing Manu would be a killer, though..
The heart and leadership he brings to the Spurs can't be replicated by any other player, he has the "it" factor..just having him on the floor is huge for the Spurs, you can tell how much all his teammates love him IMO..
Let him rest now, if not there will be no Spur in the all-star game.
His horrible TOs also can't be replicated.
