    He is out for the rest of the season and the playoffs.

    This could be huge for the final fight for the division title and homecourt!

    my friend texted me this earlier...I couldnt find a link on yahoo but I checked the spurs talk forum and apparently its true

    http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121935


    this could change a lot in the playoff race with 5-7 games to go and the spurs chances in general in the playoffs...

    Ginobili Out for remainder of season...

    http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=4089

    The San Antonio Spurs today announced that guard Manu Ginobili will miss the remainder of the 2008-09 regular season as well as the 2009 NBA Playoffs.

    Ginobili felt stiffness in his lower right leg during the Spurs-Cavaliers game in Cleveland on Sunday afternoon. Following the game he returned to San Antonio. Earlier today, in San Antonio, he underwent a CT scan and an MRI. The examinations showed an increased marrow edema and a stress fracture in his right distal fibula.

    No timeline has been determined for Ginobili’s return to the court.

    Wrong forum, but damn that's big news. The Spurs championship streak in odd years can be in jeopardy!

    If this is supposed to be in the NBA forum (which it now is twice), then sorry.

    The San Antonio Spurs’ playoff hopes took a severe hit on Monday when the team announced star guard Manu Ginobili will miss the remainder of the season, including the playoffs, because of a stress fracture in his right leg.

    Ginobili experienced stiffness in his right leg during Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. An MRI and CT scan taken on Monday revealed the stress fracture.

    I agree though. If the Rockets got 4-1, they will win the Southwest.

    After all these years of injury problems we have had, I don't feel sorry them. Heck I am actually kinda happy. :D

    Is there any chance that we can play the spurs in the 1st round? Manu is out, and Duncan is not healthy either.

    Sucks for them. that's a huge blow.

    Obviously a Rocket fan isn't going to feel sorry for 'em. Especially since we understand that injury bug.

    Too bad, one of my favorite players, i guess he could use the rest as Yao used his last season.

    ya, but it is pretty relevant to us if we were to meet them in the second round

    In my head I secretly wanted Spurs to fall to 4th and knock out the Lakers. Unlikely now =/
