Kinda worried that the Spurs, who are certainly in close contact with the French's team's doctors, would think the injury was serious enough for Tony to be seen by the Spurs' doctors.
meneur de jeu de l'équipe de France, Tony Parker, a été rappelé par son club des San Antonio Spurs pour passer des examens médicaux après sa blessure contractée la semaine dernière à la cheville gauche, communique la Fédération française de basket (FFBB).
L'arrière quittera le groupe France mercredi dans la soirée pour rejoindre son club dès vendredi. Il retrouvera ses coéquipiers de la sélection nationale lors du tournoi de Strasbourg, du 10 au 12 août prochains.
L'équipe de France est actuellement réunie en stage à Divonne-les-Bains (01) pour préparer le championnat d'Europe qui se déroulera du 3 au 16 septembre en Espagne.

Kinda worried that the Spurs, who are certainly in close contact with the French's team's doctors, would think the injury was serious enough for Tony to be seen by the Spurs' doctors.
Quick translation:
Tony Parker was called back to SA to pass medical tests after he injured his left ankle.
He will be back with the French Team for the Strasbourg tournament (10th of august).
The French Team is gathered in Divonne-les-Bains to prepare the next euro (09/3 to 09/16).
It is becoming a big problem to have NBA Stars playing FIBA games. The French Team already have a problem to pay Boris Diaw insurance for his back. The French coach is also very careful with Parker health. He said in an interview something like "If SA staff read in a newspaper that Parker played poorly because of a bad ankle, we are dead"
I find that Spurs are stupid by acting like that.
Either you don't trust French NT medical staff and you don't let Parker play with the NT or you trust them and you don't call him back when Parker has a minor injury.
If Parker is tired or injured during the regular season or the playoffs, Spurs will be the ones to blame not French NT. Parker has a very busy summer and he will have two more Europe/USA travels just because Spurs medical staff don't trust French NT medical staff. Very clever...
A croire que la France est un pays en voie de développement
il n'y pas ni médecins compétents ni matériel pour faire des examens.
c'est mieux d'obliger Tony a faire 16000km en 3 jours et augmenter avec la fatigue les risques de blessures.
et après les américains veulent qu'on les respecte si ils commençaient par arreter de se prendre pour le centre du monde![]()
Sometime I wonder if NBA teams use miracle healing other countries don't know.
The "Tour de France" proximity just make me wonder how skinny 20 yo prospects can add 30 pounds of muscles in one or two years... Weird.
I don't think it is about USA and France. It is "just" business.
I like the fact spurs want to see the players
they have millions involved with parker
when a player is hurt it is best that the team that has the most at stake doctors look at him
nothing against france I would say this to any player
of course France it's like Darfour no doctor no drugs no hospital
so they can't send spurs staff they prefer risk a bigger injured when Tony will be tired when he'll play the Strasbourg Tournament
it's just business to think they can't find all in France because you can only examine this injury in USA
it's better to travel Tony or the staff?
Tony will be tired and he can be injured because he's tired.
google translator? for the above 2 posts....
if he is that tired he can stay home
In France a lot of basketball fans hate Spurs
they don't change with that
would the staff of the spurs be able to use the hospital equipment in france?
I agree with you it is a big problem for all NT.
The business thing is that SA don't want Tony to play with the French team.
They bring him back so they can do any test they want... put some pressure on.. uh sorry discuss with Tony... and then anounce that Tony injury is worse than expected and that he should not risk his career in the Euro. Tony spent his summer working with Chip. The Spurs are ready to repeat... end of story
EVERYONE HATES THE SPURS ASK BSPN
I don't even know why he's allowed to play for the national team.
The same could be said about Lebron, Melo, Kobe... Duncan (back in 2004)... the 1992 Dream Team
Why is Parker allowed to play and not Ginobili for the national team?
I have nothing at all against Spurs being very careful with Parker. Spurs have spend tons of money on him and must protect their investment.
But you had to be coherent : if you don't trust French NT medical staff, you don't let Parker play with the NT or you send a Spurs' doctor in France to follow Parker when he plays with the NT or you send Spurs medical staff in France to look at Parker injury.
Asking Parker to go back in SA for 3 days is the worst thing to do because it creates unnecessary tiredness to Parker.
Spurs are very cautious about the health of their players. Tony is a $66M investment. It's not a bad thing that they care about him enough to make sure he's healthy.
And I don't think an extra roundtrip flight in early August is going to affect Tony come November. He's only 25.
Manu win the Olympics games and for Argentina it's easy to qualifiy without Manu
Tony dream to play the olympics games and if spurs don't allow him to play for France it can be an other thing for leave the team after 2011
of course in november but France play before
Yeah, it's stupid for them to want to protect their 70 million dollar investment
Ever think that they made it a condition of even letting him play on the team that if he got hurt he had to come back to SA?
How the is SA going to be to blame for him being tired during the regular season? You aren't seriously trying to argue that one round trip flight between SA and Paris in August is going to be a justifiable excuse for him sucking during the regular season due to fatigue or injury, are you?
That's ridiculous. We're talking about a 14 hour flight in first class here, not flying around the world 3 times crammed into coach.
