Spurs' Ginobili out for NBA season, playoffs
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AFP) — 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.
