    makes sense, but why didn't any media outlet catch any wind of this? Some dude on spurstalk isn't exactly credible

    The guy who posted the thread said he heard this from sources close to the organization. People seem to respect the guy's information on the board. No its not official, but I wouldnt be surpised at all if it were true.

    Now the West is really open, Rockets can easily take out the Spurs now, I always thought even if they had a healthy Manu we might be able to take them as long as T-Mac is out. But to be honest, I would love to see the Rockets face the Spurs in the 2nd round anyways.

    Yao vs Duncan. One hell of a matchup, Best big man matchup.

    Geez that really stinks if true. Obviously, the Vince Carter traded rumors make sense now.

    Source: Ginobili injury not season-ending

    The San Antonio Spurs’ delay to release any specific information about Manu Ginobili’s right ankle injury has led some opposing GMs to speculate that the injury could be serious. Delaying the announcement until after the Thursday trade deadline would help keep the Spurs from losing any leverage in their ongoing talks.

    One Spurs source said the team is still waiting on additional test results. When asked whether the injury was potentially season-ending, he said, “No, not at all.”

    Spurs officials publicly announced only that Ginobili won’t join them on their road trip and their medical staff continues.

    In addition to their failed pursuit of Salmons, the Spurs expressed interest in the Nets’ Carter and the Bucks’ Jefferson. One Western Conference executive acknowledged they have little chance of landing Jefferson.

    Bruce Bowen has been offered in nearly every trade discussion because he’s guaranteed only $2 million next season. Center Fabricio Oberto also has a partial guarantee of $1.9 million next season.

    The Spurs didn’t announce Ginobili’s absence on their trip until Monday when they were already in New York. Though Ginobili scored 32 points in a loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Spurs’ final game before the All-Star break, team officials say he had been experiencing pain in his right ankle for a while.

    Well, I'm sure whatever the diagnosis is, Ginobili will promptly notify Stephen A. Smith as soon as he gets it.
