Hooped Up

The big story of these Olympics are injuries to the key players from each country. So many international stars have ended the NBA season limping.  Manu Ginobili might be the latest causality.

Emanuel Ginobili said on Wednesday an ankle injury had put in jeopardy his appearance at the Beijing Olympics for the Argentinian men’s basketball team which is defending its title.

San Antonio Spurs’ Ginobili, speaking at a press conference in Buenos Aires, said: “The ankle injury is more serious than I thought. I will need three weeks of tests but I feel my participation in the Olympic Games is in danger.”
