Parker hurt against Grizz, Out for Timberwolves

Tony Parker’s exit early in the first quarter of the game against the Memphis Grizzlies did not slow the momentum for the rolling San Antonio Spurs as they defeated the Grizz 112-92 Sunday evening.  Parker took a hard fall and exited with back spasms and did not return.  He finished with 10 points and an assist in nine minutes.

“They’re going to MRI his back tomorrow,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “I’m not a doctor, I don’t know.”

Kawhi Leonard matched his career high in points with 26 which were matched by Manu Ginobili’s own 26, his season high and Tim Duncan added 13 points as the Spurs bounced back from their streak-ending loss to Oklahoma.

“Wins are wins, but all of us want to be the last team standing,” Popovich said. “That’s all that’s really important to about six, or seven, or eight teams.”

The Spurs next face the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road tonight and their next home game will be Friday April 11th against the Phoenix Suns.  Great Seats are still available!

Spurs rocking the Rodeo Road Trip

Team has posted a 13-1 record in their last 14 games.

The San Antonio Spurs pounded the Chicago Bulls 103-89 en-route to their 2nd consecutive victory and four of their last five contests.  The more impressive thing about this victory is that they took out the Bulls without the Big 3 – Tim, Tony and Manu.

“One would hope that you could play with anybody in your system, but it was a tough challenge for them tonight,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “And I couldn’t be more proud of what they did.”

The team was sparked by Kawhi Leonard who led the team with a career high 26-points.  he was aided by Danny Green’s 18 points.

“The approach is still the same, you know, every game,” Green said. “It starts with Pop. He does a great job of preparing us, tells us what we need to do. We listen to him.”

The Spurs next face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Manu listed as out for the start of the season against Hornets

Spurs Guard troubled with back spasms

When the San Antonio Spurs take the floor this Thursday for the 2012/13 Season Opener, they will be without Guard Manu Ginobili in the lineup.  Manu, who averaged 52.6% from the field last season will be missed.

The Spurs will have become accustomed to playing and winning without Ginobili and this season there is a plethora of guards waiting to play some minutes and get some experience.  Nando De Cola, Danny Green and  Kawhi Leonard along with Stephen Jackson will all be vying for those minutes which can only help the Spurs, one of the older statesmen of the league.

Be sure to get your Spurs tickets to the home opener Thursday November 1st against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
