Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said reserve guard Manu Ginobili will be out “a good week to 10 days” after spraining his right ankle late in the third quarter of Sunday’s home rout of Minnesota.

Ginobili left the locker room after the game in crutches. But that appears to have been better than what the Spurs initially feared when Ginobili first went down, and was unable to put any weight on his right foot as Tim Duncan and trainer Will Sevening helped him off the court.

“Fortunately, I don’t think it’s as bad as they thought,” Duncan said. “Hopefully he can be back pretty quickly…because we need what he brings to the team.”

Sprained ankles are tricky hopefully he recovers quickly.

I feared it was something worse. I'll take a sprain ankle.

I'll look at this as another end of season positive.

I personally think Manu plays too many minutes as it is. For some reason he is the only guy that is allowed to make 100 stupid plays and 1 good play and be in Pops good books. (Slightly exaggerating obviously) While he has had flashes, he has definitely declined a lot. I think his time off will be a good week or two for the rest of the bench to man up.
