His star point guard boasting a medical chart perhaps best summarized as “banged-up body,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has announced no formal plan for shutting down Tony Parker over the final two weeks of the regular season. But Parker’s teammates aren’t going to be shocked if it happens by default. “I wouldn’t be surprised,” guard Gary Neal said. “Tony and even Manu (Ginobili), it’s going to be hard to get where we want to get — a championship — without those guys being 90 or 100 percent. Coach Pop knows what’s best for the team.” San Antonio Express-News

By the fourth quarter of the Spurs’ 100-88 loss at Oklahoma City on Thursday, Gregg Popovich had seen enough of Tony Parker. It wasn’t exactly the All-Star point guard’s 1-of-6, two-point scoring night that was concerning the Spurs coach. It was the way Parker was hobbling up and down the court at Chesapeake Energy Arena, looking more like 38-year-old Thunder guard Derek Fisher than Fisher himself. “I saw him come across half court actually limping at one time, so that’s when we pulled him,” Popovich said. “I said ‘Tony, you’ve got to stop, so we can figure out what it is.’ He just couldn’t go.” San Antonio Express-News

Popovich doesn’t believe what plagued Parker in OKC was necessarily that, but a previously unreported injury to his shin. “My feeling is tendonitis, something in his shins or whatever, from the way it looked on the court, but I don’t know,” said Popovich, who described himself “very concerned” about his star guard’s health. “We thought he had just kind of recovered from his ankle, so this was something new tonight with his leg,” Popovich said. “I just don’t know what it is right now.” San Antonio Express-News

He really didn't have much proof to the claims as the Spurs never advertise for the away team's fan base. They never said Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili were actually going to be there and such claims were going to be made by the Miami Heat. He wouldn't sue his favorite team of course, so decided to take his frustrations out on the away team. As of today, McGuinness has dropped his claim against the Spurs but has not replied to any attempts of being reached. McGuinness did not immediately respond to an email Friday seeking comment about dismissal of his lawsuit. This lawsuit may have scared teams into playing some of their players in either a meaningless game or sacrificing rest for the playoffs, but it seems they can breathe a sigh of relief for now. After all, the Spurs are watching out for their organization and fan base and not the other team's. ProjectSpurs.com

Anxious as they are to get Parker back, Manu Ginobili said he and the rest of the Spurs are happy to let Parker recover on his own terms. “He’s feeling good,” Ginobili said. “I talked to him and he’s confident. I don’t know if Pop is going to let him play tomorrow. I have no idea. But if we waited three weeks and he’s not sure, we can wait one more game or two. “The important thing…is to have him healthy and confident. If he needs one or two more games, no big deal. We prefer health than one more win.” San Antonio Express-News

Popovich ruled Parker out for Wednesday’s home game against Golden State, but said again that the Frenchman will likely beat the initial one-month timeline given after his injury against Sacramento on March 1. The Spurs follow the Warriors with Utah at home on Friday, Houston on the road on Sunday and Denver at home next Wednesday. “I think it will be sooner than four weeks, but it won’t be tomorrow,” Popovich said. “He did everything today. It’s very encouraging.” San Antonio Express-News

Not surprisingly, Parker’s teammates are excited for what seems to be the imminent return of their floor general. “We need him, there’s no mystery in that,” Manu Ginobili said. “It’s great to see him close to being back. I haven’t talked to him, but he looked good. “He’s a little out of rhythm, but that’s the hardest part to resolve, the details. It’s going to take him a few days. But he looked fast as always, he looked confident. I just have to ask him how he felt.” San Antonio Express-News

No one expects Cory Joseph, Nando DeColo or Gary Neal to do what Parker does. But the difference is obvious, especially when the shot clock winds down. "Tony's the ultimate playmaker," forward Danny Green said, "and we're the ultimate bailout guys for him. Right now, the playmaking part is where we're lacking. We don't have a guy who can dribble around and around, get easy layups [and] floaters in the paint, and run the offense the way he did. Cory's doing a great job, Gary's doing a great job as well. But it's different what Tony brings." NBA.com
