OKLAHOMA CITY - Tony Parker is dinged up again, and his
status is unclear heading into the NBA Finals against the
Miami Heat. The San Antonio Spurs All-Star point guard
did not play in the second half or overtime of the
Western Conference finals-clinching win over Oklahoma
City on Saturday because of a sore left ankle. Spurs
coach Gregg Popovich doesnt know what shape Parker will
be in for Game 1 on Thursday in San Antonio. "I have no
idea," Popovich said Saturday night. "I dont know what
the deal is." Popovich said Parker sprained the ankle in
Game 4 and aggravated it in Game 5. Popovich considered
starting Manu Ginobili at point guard in Game 6 against
the Thunder because Parker was having trouble during
pregame. At halftime, Popovich made the decision to hold
him out. "He came to me about eight minutes on the clock
(before the second half) and said he couldnt go,"
Popovich said. "He couldnt cut. He was limping on it. He
couldnt cut sideways or forward really." Popovich said he
thought playing Parker in the second half would have hurt
the team in the long term. "I didnt want him to be a hero
because he was 50 per cent or less, we thought," Popovich
said. "Thats probably bad for the team if you think about
it. It was a tough decision to try to figure out whether
to play him, and if you lose the game and it affects him
for Monday night, then youre going to feel like you made
an unwise choice." Parker has been plagued by injuries
this year. He averaged 16.7 points and 5.7 assists while
shooting 50 per cent from the field during the regular
season, but he missed 22 games. He strained his left
hamstring in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals
against Portland and did not return. The Spurs won that
game easily to clinch the series. Once again, his
teammates bought him some rest. Had the Spurs lost Game
6, they would have faced an elimination game at home
Monday against the Thunder. "We didnt know how much Tony
was hurt in his ankle," forward Boris Diaw said. "But we
didnt want to go to Game 7, and we didnt know if he would
be ready to play if we did or if he would be 100 per
cent, so we tried to get it over with tonight." Still,
the Spurs have proven all season they can win without key
players, posting the NBAs best record despite a series of
injuries. "We have to continue to play basketball
regardless of who is on the floor and our reserves did a
great job - Cory (Joseph), Patty (Mills) - they stepped
in and continued to run the offence and push the pace and
playing good defence on their guards as well," guard
Danny Green said. Joseph started the second half of Game
6 against Oklahoma City and helped engineer a 37-point
third quarter. "Cory was very good," Ginobili said. "I
mean, its hard to play when you dont have many
opportunities to play in close games and stuff. But he
did very well in Game 3 and 4 here. He always brings the
juice, aggressiveness, competitiveness. He attacks the
rim well. I think he made a few key plays." The Spurs
said they excel without their stars because they are
about a system, rather than individuals. "We have been
doing what we did the whole year, which is passing the
ball to each other, getting some movement, getting pace
and getting into a good rhythm," Diaw said. "Always
trying to set up a good shot for a teammate."
