Tony Parker's sprained right ankle doesn't appear to be serious, but Spurs officials still don't know if he'll be available to play in Thursday's season opener in Dallas.
Parker received treatment and did balancing exercises Tuesday but didn't practice. He is expected to test the ankle today by scripting plays and possibly participating in non-contact drills.
"We'll see if he can move on it at all," coach Gregg Popovich said. "That will start to tell the tale."
Parker rolled his ankle during practice Monday when he stepped on a teammate's foot. Popovich said the team's doctors gave Parker "a good report."
"The MRI didn't show anything ugly," Popovich said. "It's just a sprained ankle, sore.
"How much time it will take will depend mostly on pain tolerance and that kind of thing. But he definitely couldn't go out there today and cut on it."
Beno Udrih will likely start at point guard if Parker can't play. Tim Duncan said Udrih has been playing "great" since returning from a hamstring injury.
But Duncan isn't ready to rule out Parker playing Thursday.
"He's worked hard this season, and he's been tremendous throughout this training camp, and he wants to be out there," Duncan said. "I imagine if he has the option to be out there, he'll be out there."

We're doomed. None of my Beno loving crap.
, I kid.
As much as I like Beno I don’t know if I really want him starting…guess it's better then Vaughn.

Here's a little clip of Pop talking about Tony's progress (it also shows Beno staying late after practice working out and some sound bytes from Tim):

Better be ready Beno!
I believe Parker will play in Dallas.
"How much time it will take will depend mostly on pain tolerance and that kind of thing."
Man up and play, it's only a sprained ankle. Dirk plays on them all the time.
So you want the Spurs to lose?![]()
Start Brent Barry at point!
Trade Parker, he's injury prone.
I say if parker is hurt we go with this starting lineup
pg Manu
sg Finley
sf Bowen
Pf Duncan
C Elson
Have you ever played full court basketball on one of them before? It's tough, especially as a PG. If he becomes a turnstile defender because of the pain he will be no good to us and may even re-injure it, because you know Dallas will go after him. I say give him his rest and play Vaughn/Beno in that order (vaughn with first team) because he will gain confidence that way and know he is contributing (helps for the future in case Beno or Parker get injured for real).
dude I know it against dallas
but spurs have 82 games plus playoffs
there is no need to rush him back
lakers kept kobe out last night
spurs listen to the duck - he speaks the truth

If Parked Cannot Make It Thurdsay,WILL LEAD THE WAY
Good stuff.
I say we start this line up and make no subs:
C-Bonnor
PF-Duncan
SF-Butler
SG-Elson
PG-Oberto
how could we lose?
Logical choice.
Perhaps Pop wants Beno to get injured so he can act all pissy again.
Looks like TD is ready to beat Dallas.![]()
Good to see Ernie back at work. Hope his treatment works and he gets well soon.
It was on a assistant coach's foot.Parker rolled his ankle during practice Monday when he stepped on a teammate's foot
