Tony Parker back injury

Apparently he'll have an MRI tomorrow to rule out possible bulging disc. Yikes!

Sounded like it was just back spasms, hopefully it isn't something worse.

So far this is what I've found:

http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nba/Tony_Parker/3420125/an-mri-revealed-tony-parker-suffered-a-sprained-facet-joint

It says he suffered a sprained facet joint on the left side. Which sounds worst than back spasms but better than a slipped disc. I also suppose it depends on the severity of the sprain, but it sounds like a 2-3 week recovery. Obviously, it seems like he would push it for the playoffs which would be on the two week side.

Luckily OKC is pooping the bed and we only need two wins to get HAC. I also think OKC have at least one more loss in them, which means we need only one win.

I appreciate how Pop starts Joseph and keeps Patty coming in off the bench. I hope he uses the last games of the regular season to see what happens if Kawhi becomes the focus of the starting units offense. Last night was definitely encouraging. Also, that keeps Patty in his role for when Tony returns. Parker has already been ruled out against the T-Wolves.
