No link since I'm typing from my phone, but I read that Popovich said they think Parker could be out up to 4 weeks with a grade 2 ankle sprain. The Spurs have done well without Duncan at times this season, but they'll miss Parker big time.
Tony Parker Out Several Weeks?
- Thread starter nightmare3983
- Start date
The way Parker's been playing I bet they'll do worse without him than Duncan.

Tony Parker out 4 WEEKS with his ankle sprain? They didn't say it was a "high" ankle sprain, just a grade 2 type! Sounds to me like he may be a panny waste, apron string, momma's boy, umbilical. sissy! Out 4 WEEKS!!! Low tolerance for pain.....and probably did not have his ankles tape to begin with! Bad break for the Spurs, although they'll probably still win 70 percent of there remaining games!

Who is this Simmons guy that gives his pathetic opinion on ESPN pregame and half-time shows? He just made the ridiculous statement that the Thunder are now a shoo-in to get the #1 seed out west since Parker sprained his ankle! Has he looked at the schedule of both teams??? The Spurs have a ton of home games and the Thunder have a ton of road games! I think the Spurs could beat the THunder in a 7 game series even without Parker! I despise guys that make outrageous statements, don't you?

...yeah, the Spurs really missed Parker yesterday. They won by 40 points, shot 50% from the field, had 35 assists....and only 11 turnovers!
Not every game will be against the Pistons.
Sure, why not?

They generally do pretty well when they are missing any one of their big 3. Until the playoffs at least.

...not at all! It just shows to go ya......the Spurs front office and coach KNOW how to put together a winning team! They know that having a "go to play" is better in the long run, than a "go to player!" They strongly embrace the "team" concept of basketball and only select, draft, trade for and sign guys that feel the same way! They do not embrace the "black hole" "one on one" "put'em up...I got bounds offensive concept!
