Tony Parker Injury Thread (left calf)

[dbreiden83080]

Swelling will probably go way down today with treatment.

The thing that worries me is that if Tony is going to be limping throughout the whole game and being passive. Don't want him hurting the team out there or making the injury worse.

Looking at film, Parker says Bogut is the one who kicked him. Knows it wasn't intentional.

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Parker said no X-rays on his calf. Docs confident it's only a bruise, albeit a nasty one.

Yeah neither Tony nor Steph's "injuries" looked too serious, but for what it's worth Curry's ankle sprain looked worse. Or at least his reaction to it (hobbling on the floor) suggests as much.

GSW fans have more to sweat about with Curry's ankle giving out like that.

His sprain didn't look that bad to me. Just looked more like a little tweak. He hobbled around a little in between plays, but seemed like he was 90-95% during them.

Guy def won't be missing any games. Especially not with Mark Jackson slave driving his best players for 48 minutes every game, completely negating their youth advantage the longer the playoffs go on.

Well that sucks

Tony Parker said it "feels like a baseball" is in his bruised left calf but he'll "definitely" play

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Parker has a baseball sized knot in left calf. Still "I can't see myself not playing," he says.

J.A. Adande @jadande
Pop on Tony Parker: "He'll play."

Good find. First posted updated.

Bad news, thought everyone was just getting healthy. Still can't believe the Spurs are stuck with the every other day schedule again. Parker is pretty much the engine of the team now, now without him fully attacking, the Spurs will be in deep trouble.

[TheGoldStandard]

Spus won't be in trouble, he'll play through it, the biggest issue will be when he sits but when he gets into the flow of the game it'll be fine.

[Obstructed_View]

Parker bought the Spurs a game with his great play. Now it's time for his teammates to step up and start hitting some shots, that's all.

Anybody found the play when he was kicked to review it?

[Budkin]

Tony's fine. Play ball.

Anybody found the play when he was kicked to review it?

I think this was it (7:35 left in the 4th Q)

Buck Harvey @Buck_SA
From Popovich on Parker: "Ready to go."

[Darius McCrary]

Cant figure out how to embed tweets, but the GS beatwriter said Parker jogging with an obvious limp.

Tony Parker warming up with black sleeve on sore left calf. Moving OK to my eyes.

pre-game exchange between Spurs - GSW assistants. acc. to Yahoo said one Spur was disrespectful..I don't know if it was Blair, his name was mentioned by Pete Myers

Apparently DeJuan Blair got into an argument with GSW assistants

Evan Doherty ‏@YSportsEvan 1m Parker was about to head to locker room until trainer made him run around the center court logo in circles. #nba

[z0sa]

This injury concerns me a little. I worry it will hinder him as the game progresses. Hopefully it is nothing.

[Ditty]

Is Tim wearing leggings?

[Darius McCrary]

The injury will affect Parker's explosiveness and jumping power. Parker is one tough SOB.

[naico]

Funny how the Curry situation is all about drama. TP and the Spurs just go about their business. Curry and GS saying he's a game time decision and not being sure he can play. TP saying he'll play regardless off the bat. I bet you ten cents that Curry's situation is less problematic than TP's. Curry with the hero goodies.

[Whisky Dog]

The rest of the Spurs need to pick him up offensively and hit some shots. Need to keep strong defensively as in game 3. Team effort
