Official Manu Ginobili Injury Thread

[MI21]

I need this old guy to be back by at least the GS game, which is looking unlikely. I'm in SA from Australia to watch the Spurs from March 12-19 and I wanted to see Manu play...

[MI21]

"Then, Ginobili moved well. He went through some shooting drills, and he played some non-contact, one-on-one with a staffer.

He still has a way to go, and he’s wearing some protection he didn’t wear before. But the Spurs are now optimistic. If Ginobili continues to progress as expected, they think he could be back for a few minutes as early as March 10 against Chicago."

Didn't read this, tbh. Perfect

Gracias.
"A return in mid-March fits with the original estimate."

Sounds right on target for Manu. Plenty of time to find his groove too.

Absolute welcome news on Manu ..He will have whole month before playoffs to regain his shape/mojo, and we may not even need him that much in the 1st Round..Hope he is ready for the murders' row after that..

Will he make it in time for the Dubs game?

Wonder if he'd be 100% by then. That will be a really high paced game. I guess they all are!

With the latest from Buck Harvey, who is probably the most plugged Expressnews jounalist, he should easily make it for that 5-game homestand..My guess, the Clippers game will be his first..

I would think the Thunder game before will be more high paced simply because of Westbrook flying around everywhere as the most athletic player in the game.

I wanted to go to the home game vs Toronto on April 2nd, Manu should be back well before then right? Want to see my favorite player one last time live. (Assuming he does retire after this year)

[Kawhitstorm]

I guess he's going to be wearing cups with EXTRA cushion.

Great news.

and last I heard things were going slowly, I suspect some CIA Pop funny business, but I am happy if he is nearing a return the prospect of him not being back on the court until April would be disheartening.

[TheDoctor]

Nice to see El Castrado going at it again

[SAGirl]

Spurs still haven't decided on definite day, but Manu could be back next week. http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/s...ek-6863491.php

[BatManu20]

Could be as soon as next week. Excellent news

[loveforthegame]

Incredible.
