San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili will be out two to three weeks with an injury to his right shin.

Ginobili had played with some pain in the ankle prior to the All-Star break, and tests revealed he has a stress reaction of his distal right fibula, a few inches above his ankle. Ginobili had surgery on his left ankle in August and missed the first month of the season.

Ginobili did not accompany the team on its current trip East. The Spurs did not release specific information about Ginobili’s injury until after the trade deadline to avoid being leveraged during their talks Ginobili could miss about 10 games if he’s sidelined for the full three weeks.

That sucks just enough...

Damn, Manu can't catch a break this year (no pun intended).

I get the feeling that our annual post-AS break surge will be sorely lacking this year.

Word is that Manu is looking good and should be back soon. He would be playing if it was the playoffs. The Spurs know what they are doing. They knew going in that it'd be tough to get a 1 or 2 seed, so they've been taking it easy on Duncan, Parker, GInobili all year.
