This is good, right? No mention of bone spurs though.
TONY PARKER MEDICAL UPDATE
SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that Tony Parker underwent an MRI on his left ankle on Wednesday in San Antonio. The results showed that Parker is suffering from chronic inflammation and confirmed there is no structural damage in his ankle.
Parker received anti-inflammatory shots today which are designed to decrease the swelling in his ankle joint.
No timeline has been set for his return. Parker will not travel with the Spurs on the team's six-game Eastern road trip which starts on Tuesday in Indiana.

Sounds more like Timmy's plantar f_ _ _ _
I don't know why the MRI was all about his ankle and not about his heel. I thought those were two separate issues he's having.
CIA Pop medical release?
I guess it's good news that there is no structural damage. Weird that it doesn't mention bone spurs at all.
If he returns after the All-Star break, he will have missed three weeks of action. I'd probably hold him out a little while longer to make sure that his ankle can get right.
Now the Spurs need to start winning games so that they can afford to hold Parker out. If the Spurs keep losing without him then the team might be forced to bring him back before he's ready.
Inflammation in the ankel sounds a uva lot better than bone spurs. At least we can say theres a better shot they won't have to shut him down for the year.
He should be travelling with the team.
Well... great news, I guess!
This issue is confusing. One day they say it's his heel, the next it's his ankle, then it's the heel again, then the ankle again.
wtf?
There may be confusion about the issue. Heel spurs are typically associated with plantar faciitis. When there is a serverely swollen plantar fascia, it can also radiate up to the ankle. They may have thought because of the symptoms, there may also be a problem with the ankles. The anti-inflamatory will aleviate any ankle pain associated with the plantar faciitis. (If that's truly the case). Just speculation.
So the bone spurs in his heel are not the reason they held him out, but in actuality it's his ankle problems.
Is the left ankle the same one from the summer, and if so, doesn't that make people even madder about his playing over the summer when he knew he had an ankle problem?
yes it's good, but if the SPurs lose most it not all these games, O LOTTERY
Both are related. The injury originated with the French National Team over the summer and it never healed properly. He re-injured the ankle at the end of November and at the time his whole ankle and heel area got inflamed.
Maybe he doesn't even have heel spurs but was diagnosed with heel spurs due to his symptoms. I don't remember the heel spurs diagnosis involving an MRI.
Basically, this is France's fault. They made him play through the injury instead of getting the proper rest and he entered the season with a weakened ankle which has led to all of this.
good news that it's only his ankle unless this is a CIA press release
o Micheal Beasley!
BUt it says he has swelling in his ankle joint. I don't think PF causes that.
The french basketball federation has to pay a portion of my league pass since their arcane ways of treatment is limiting my ability to watch Tony Parker dominate
Now you know somewhat how Raptors fans feel about the Spanish doctors and their insistence that Garbajosa was fine to play when the Raptors doctors said he needed another surgery.
It's just wrong to blame French NT for what happens with Parker.
People to blame are Spurs' doctor and Parker. Parker said yesterday that he is in that situation because he hasn't sit enough in December after his injury.
Who are the Raptors? Is that a WNBA team?
Yeah except George Garbage sucks with or without an ankle.
I disagree. Don't you remember the French doctors calling it a very slight twist and were appalled when the Spurs made Parker come back to San Antonio to get the ankle looked at? The French NT basically said that if Parker didn't come back to play that he'd never be asked to play for France again. The responsible thing to do was to admit it wasn't a slight injury and let Parker sit out the tournament ... that France ended up losing anyways.
Since that point this summer, Parker hasn't been 100%. If he would have skipped the tournament, he wouldn't be having all these problems.
Now the Spurs just have to hope that there is enough time in the season to get Parker healthy or else this season is already over.
if just some simple shots can solve the problem why took so long to do it?
what about the flu? bone spur? anything else?
weired
there is nothing wrong for TP played for the Franch, that is his country, I respect that.
