Spurs point guard Tony Parker will start against the Miami Heat, returning from a sore calf muscle much sooner than expected.
Parker's surprise return puts the NBA-best Spurs at full strength for Friday night's game against the LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
The Spurs had projected that Parker could miss up to a month after straining his left calf in a win over Memphis on Sunday. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich joked before Friday's game that "the foie grois and truffle treatment really worked" for Parker, who is from Paris.
