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

To hear Spurs forward Danny Green tell it, All-Star point guard Tony Parker is just around the corner from an early return from his Grade 2 sprain of the left ankle. Over the past week, Green has kept an eye on Parker’s post-practice workouts, which now include plenty of shooting drills, and thinks the Spurs’ scoring and assists leader will beat the medical staff’s projected return of after April 1. “I’ve always said I didn’t think he’d be out the full four weeks,” Green said before Saturday’s game. “Every time he’s hurt, I never see it as a serious injury because he always plays through it. He always comes back a lot sooner than people expect. Not saying it will be (Saturday or Sunday), but I expect he’ll be back sooner than the four weeks. “I think he looks pretty healthy. I think he looks pretty good. You’d have to ask him, but he looks like he’s moving pretty well. Every day, I feel like he’s shooting a little bit here and there, and his speed on his movement is coming a little bit better.” San Antonio Express-News

Tony Parker’s projected return from a left-ankle sprain continues to improve. Popovich believes his All-Star point guard will be able to beat the original four-week prognosis that followed an MRI exam March 2. Parker has been running on a treadmill all week, and recently began taking some shots at the team’s practice facility. “He’s doing fine,” Popovich said. “I guess he’s on schedule. Two weeks is (Friday). Initially they told us four weeks probably. “I don’t think it will be quite that long. I don’t know if I’m being too hopeful, but I think it will be shorter than four weeks.” San Antonio Express-News

Count Ginoibli among those hoping Parker can beat the four weeks the medical staff originally predicted he’d be out. “The team knew that even though we won the first two without him, it didn’t mean anything,” Ginobili said. “That’s usually what happens when you have a player down: Other players step up and there’s the emotion. But in the long term it is going to hurt you.” San Antonio Express-News
