Spurs G Tony Parker dealing with ankle injury; status uncertain for finals opener vs. Miami

Published February 05, 2015

Tony Parker is dinged up again, and his status is unclear heading into the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat.

The San Antonio Spurs' All-Star point guard did not play in the second half or overtime of the Western Conference title-clinching win over Oklahoma City on Saturday because of a sore left ankle. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich doesn't know what shape Parker will be in heading into Game 1 on Thursday in San Antonio.

Popovich says Parker sprained the ankle in Game 4 and aggravated it in Game 5. Popovich considered starting Manu Ginobili at point guard in Game 6 against the Thunder because Parker was having trouble during pregame. At halftime, Popovich made the decision to hold him out.
