Injuries Galore for Spurs' Big Three

Timmy Duncan continues to miss games after his knee and ankle issues, but the Spurs have been a respectable 2-1 without him heading into their road game with the Lakeshow. Ginobili's back-to-back 37 point games have carried the offense, but it turns out he's had a bum thumb since Portland.

News coming out of SA is that Parker has been banged up as well. Duncan is reportedly ready to return, but Parker will miss at least one game because of a sprained right ankle he's endured since a late November game with the Timberwolves.

It may cost them a few games, but better to get them healthy now then try to play for homecourt advantage in December. The injuries have also opened up opportunities for role players to get some confidence. Darius Washington was brought back up from Austin after tearing up the D-League and Matt Bonner had a career game of 25 points and 17 rebounds against the Warriors.
