Parker has been diagnosed with a strained left soleus, expected to miss 2-4 weeks

[Bukefal]

That's some good news. If he come back on March 18th for the game against Mavs, he would have missed only 8 games.

Let's hope so. The team needs him.

remember all the ing idiots that wanted TP traded at the beginning of the season? yeah you. this fanbase and town completely under-appreciates what TP does on the court. he can create a shot whenever he wants and get to the hoop with the best of them.

True.

Shows again how underrated and hated he is. It's always been like that, no matter what he does. He has been so important this season.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I hope he can come back soon. We need him back and healthy.

[Brazil]

Beware the Savior in Dallas.

Brewer ?

I honestly didn't think the Spurs were as fragile as all this with their winning and spreading the scoring among so many players.
But I am seeing that not only the absence of a CONSISTENT defense is very troubling, but also equally troubling is if one of either TP or Manu goes down with an injury in the playoffs.
So we have a fragile offense as well as an inconsistent defense.
Neither bodes well for a championship this year despite the gaudy record.

[JustinJDW]

Calm down everyone. Spurs will be fine.

"george hill can fill his shoes." lol are you ing kidding me? George Hill has not lived up to any of the potential he has. Turnover machine tonight. and this is what you fans wanted?

ing morons.

You're a ing moron. The idea was to trade him for other valuable pieces. Not to trade him for nothing. Which is the equivalent of the injury.

You won't find one quote that said "George Hill can fill his shoes." So don't ing quote it. Did you actually read any of the "trade TP" threads or did you just read the les?

Brewer ?

Look we all know that if we lose any of the big 3 in the playoffs we aren't winning .

[Sean Cagney]

Not if they lose Friday and Sunday coming up and Dallas wins two, that is not FINE IMO. They are 5 up now, that could be 2 by the weekends end and would mean with 19 left only up two! I know thats worst case, but it could happen and that would not be FINE .


I am sorry to dampen the mood in there, that just came up in my head and only up 2 would be scary with one more head to head and Miami again on the 14th and Boston as well later! Man that schedule is horrible.

You're assuming that Dallas won't lose again this season.

[DPG21920]

TP is normally a fast healer. Lets hope the Spurs get good news and TP comes back sooner than later.

Yeah lets panic.

50-11

OH NOES!

I have a feeling he'll be back for the Miami game on the 14th at the earliest. If not, the Dallas game on the 18th for sure....

[Baseline]

Any update on TP's return?

[JR3]

I don't know why, but I'm am expecting to be suprised and see him come back for the Laker game on Sunday... Someone wake me up though for real.

I was thinking the same thing. I mean, it's a bruised calf.

[wontstartdumbthreads]

Is this true?
It seems like it always takes him forever to get back into top form.
Maybe he heals fast enough to get back to playing but unless he's near 100%, he can be pretty ineffective.

Maybe I'm wrong about his healing time but can anyone kawabarate this?

[jjktkk]

Theres no need to rush back Parker too soon. Why take the chance of TP reinjuring his calf and not be ready for the playoffs?

You don't really reinjure a bruise, but there's certainly no reason to rush Parker back.

If we lose both games and the Chokericks win two we are up 3.5 not 2. Again I don't think they'll get any closer than that.

[Man In Black]

If you have access to the video of that game, watch the last minute or so of the 1st quarter. It would seem that TP is already bothered by his calf. You'd see that he's already wrapping his lower-left calf area with a towel. It seemed as if he was icing it already at the time. The injury occurred in the 2nd quarter so we think, but it seems as if he was already affected prior...upon observation. It doesn't change the treatment, it just means that he was already somewhat affected.

Someone mentioned the other day that Parker was limping at the end of the Duncan blocks video.

[Drew2354]

Parker right now is shooting around here at the att center with a cast on.

[tmtcsc]

The doom and gloom over Tony's injury is ridiculous. George Hill WILL step up as will the other bench players. We're not dropping to 3 or 4, that's crazy.

Neal, Anderson and Hill will all fill in as will Manu. Tony will get the rest he needs and be back sooner than later.
