First it was the bruised ribs that he was playing with over the course of a few games. Now Tony Parker (mild strain, left hamstring) is listed as doubtful for tonight’s game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
#SAvsMIN INJURY REPORT: Parker is listed as doubtful. Mills and Splitter remain out. DETAILS: http://t.co/JNGBfeUXcO
— San Antonio Spurs (@spurs) December 6, 2014
Parker left the Spurs 107-101 win over the Memphis Grizzlies midway through the third quarter and did not return. Given the quick turnaround, Parker sitting is probably more precautionary than anything serious. The Spurs don't play again until Tuesday, so the extra rest should help.
Cory Joesph (who scored 12 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter against the Grizzlies) will start in his place.
Tiago Splitter continues to be out with a calf injury and Patty Mills's timeline hasn't changed as he is expected to be available no sooner than January.
