Chasing down the red hot Denver Nuggets for the second seed in the west, just got a lot tougher for the San Antonio Spurs without the services of one Manu Ginobili.
“Spurs guard Manu Ginobili will miss the rest of the National Basketball Association season and the playoffs with a right ankle injury, the team said.
Tests on Monday indicated that Ginobili’s ankle injury, which caused him to miss 19 games since the All-Star break in February before returning in late March, has gotten worse.
In February, Ginobili was diagnosed with a “stress reaction” of his right fibula, but he now has a stress fracture, the Spurs said.
Ginobili did not play in the fourth quarter Sunday as the Spurs lost at Cleveland.”
