Tony Parker sprained his ankle a few weeks ago and was supposed to be out for about a month.
Even without Parker, the Spurs have still been playing respectable ball (6-2); all while flying under the radar of course.
But the Spurs may be getting Parker back sooner than anticipated. It’s possible he could return Friday or over the weekend. If so, look for them to remain first in the West.
It was at the exact moment Parker’s availability for Friday’s home game against Utah was broached with Popovich that the All-Star point guard sauntered past.
Parker deferred an update on his sprained left ankle to his coach, who said it’s “possible” he could return then after missing an eighth straight game. Parker returned to practice earlier this week and participated in shootaround before Wednesday’s game.
