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.”

Spurs face Pacers Saturday Night

The San Antonio Spurs will be back home after not being able to play a scheduled game against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Mexico City.  The Game was cancelled due to smoke from an errant generator four floors above the arena floor.

“I thought they were practicing fireworks, Spurs TV analyst Sean Elliot said. “A lot of teams do that before introductions. But then the smoke just kept creeping and it wasn’t white smoke. It was like a brown dark smoke and it started taking over the whole court. It was surprising.”
