Default Manu injured

Mike Monroe: Groin injury to sideline Ginobili indefinitely


Spurs guard Manu Ginobili suffered a strained muscle in his left groin in Wednesday's home loss to the Phoenix Suns and won't play when the Spurs meet the Seattle SuperSonics on Friday night at the AT&T Center.

Ginobili's status for Sunday's game against the Lakers, in Los Angeles, also is in question.

"I don't know how long he will be out," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said after the Spurs' practice, "but he definitely will be out tomorrow (Friday)."

Popovich said Ginobili suffered the injury immediately after checking into Wednesday's game with 6:40 left in the first quarter. Though he played through some discomfort and returned to the game in the second half, Popovich held him out of the bulk of the fourth quarter when it became apparent the injury was affecting his play.

"He felt something on his very first play of the game last night," Popovich said. "He tried to play on it. The doctors checked him at half and didn't think there was a defect -- just a little bit tight. That's why we started him in the third quarter, while he was still somewhat loose.

"It didn't really get any worse, didn't get any better, so I opted not to play him at all after I took him out early in the fourth quarter."

With the playoffs to begin next weekend, the Spurs will take no chances with Ginobili's health, regardless of the effect his absence might have on the team's potential playoff positioning in the closest Western Conference race in NBA history.

"It's pretty tight," Popovich said, "and I just don't want to take any chances with him."

Fuck. It's nice to have some possible explanation for his underperforming last night, but this is terrible. Hopefully some guys will rally and step up, but with no Manu I don't like our chances against the Lakers.

He'll be alright, he's a competitor, a winner. Fuck the seeds now, just get to next weekend's opening round of the Playoffs healthy, if that means him sitting till game 1 so be it, if he's good to go Sunday, go for it.

That is not funny.




it looked that something was bothering him when he left the court at halftime limping.

I saw the same thing but ignored it when he came back. I just assumed he was having a bad night.

Manu is the unsung hero of the spurs this year. I bet they would've won last night if Manu was healthy.

spurs now know they have to step up with him down
I think this is actually out instead of trying to play
he has been useless almost the last 3 games
not happy he is injured though

I think he got hurt on the final shot before the first half ended. He tried to shoot between two defenders and fell weird and came off limping.

Sit his ass until april 19. The Spurs have already clinched. Make the other players on the team learn to cope without Manu for a few games. If they slip in the seedings so be it. This could be a blessing in disguise. Lets hope so anyway. All thats left now is hope it seems.
