I don't think simple shots solve it. They probably just help relieve it. Only rest and time can probably solve it.

You shouldn't have watch Spurs in November.
November 2007 has arguably been Parker's best regular season month of his career.
I don't think simple shots solve it. They probably just help relieve it. Only rest and time can probably solve it.
I expect Tony to make a very fast revocery now that Damon Stoudemire is safely in the bag.
Which injury? The one in November?
There is a difference between playing well and being 100%. His November injury was a non-contact injury. You only get non-contact ankle injuries if your ankle isn't 100% to begin with.
Jeff McDonald: Spurs say Parker will miss rest of rodeo trip
Injured Spurs point guard Tony Parker, already sent home from the western portion of the team's annual rodeo road trip, won't make the upcoming six-game eastern leg either, the team announced Thursday.
Parker has what doctors are calling a chronic inflammation of the left ankle. An MRI conducted Wednesday in San Antonio revealed no structural damage.
The Spurs' third-leading scorer at 19.2 points per game, Parker was sent home from the team's road trip after Monday's loss at Utah, in which he scored five points in 33 minutes. He did not play in Tuesday's loss at Seattle and will watch tonight's game at Phoenix from home as well.
Parker received an anti-inflammatory shot on Thursday, in hopes of decreasing the swelling in his ankle. The Spurs have to hope that the real cure for what ails Parker is just good old-fashioned rest.
After tonight's game at Phoenix, the Spurs will return to San Antonio for four days off, after which they hit the road for a six-game trip that will take them to Indiana, Washington, New York, Boston, Toronto and Cleveland.
Not coincidentally, Parker's absence comes as the Spurs continue to court veteran point guard Damon Stoudamire, who received a buyout from his contract in Memphis earlier this week. Stoudamire's agent, Aaron Goodwin, told the Express-News he expected his client to sign with the Spurs as early as Thursday.

Ya...hubby heel spurs usually end up being planter faciitis.
Great decision playing this summer Tony, real sharp.![]()
OMG that ankle will hurt, I suffered that for two years ...without the french we are done ...
I hope Eva could take care of the boy, meaning stop making Kama Sutra![]()
The one in July.
I guess timvp is in whottt mode and he will never admit that he is wrong.
Anyway, continue to claim that it's French doctors fault as much as you want but you make no sense by saying that.
Oh REEEAAAALLLY? If there is no structural damage, then why is there chronic inflammation?
The Spurs cleared him one week later? The same injury that had Parker sit out all of training camp and almost all of preseason.
Harsh![]()
Is there anyone who doesn't think this current situation doesn't go all the way back to the injury the French NT wanted him to play through?
You better stop being so happy about Parker's injury. Your team might destruct any second.
when france has a shot of winning Olympic gold, that's when Parker should be allowed to play for them again
I'm guessing Parker has just had a lot of pain in his heel because of his ankle problem. Hopefully these weeks off will help the ankle heal completely. And hopefully in the meantime, the Spurs don't go into a 10-12 game losing streak.
You're a chronic inflammation, doctor.
I'm not happy about his injury. I just think that's a lame-ass press release.
Or the most ingenious...
You are happy. You have been dancing about it for the last week, trying to convince the world that he needs surgery.
No.
When Parker goes to SA in early August, one week after his injury, Spurs' doctor told Parker that he could play again. They give him no timetable for a return and no treatment to do.
How the you could blame French medical staff to have done a mistake while he was cleared by Spurs' medical staff ?
Parker sit out half of the training camp because wanted to put him in the weight room and want to give some rest before the season.
It's not like spraining an ankle is the most common basketball related injury.
It's not like Parker played well with Spurs and French NT after his first injury.
Even if the second injury is a consequence of the first one, blame Spurs' doctor who have cleared him in August.
well, the spurs doctors are at least partially responsible, for not picking up on this earlier- if there was already potential for this in july/august/september, why wasnt anyone monitoring it?
also, its obvious pro athletes always play through things, but it looks like tony needs to pay more attention to his body!
Bone spurs consequence is an inflammation of the tissues.
I guess that parker bone spurs isn't big enough to create inflammation when he is healthy.
The sprain ankle has created an inflammation of these tissues. Parker's tissues were weaker after it and the bone spur was big enough to create the inflammation of tissue that were still weak.
If it's the case, Parker's bone spur shouldn't be a trouble when the inflammation will be fully gone. It could mean that Parker will be at 100% for the rest of the season after the ASG.
he'll be ok
he's young
