The Spurs left the AT&T Center on Wednesday fearing they would not see Tony Parker in uniform again this season. Thursday morning, an MRI confirmed it.
Parker, the Spurs’ venerable starting point guard, has been diagnosed with a torn left quadriceps tendon and will miss the remainder of the postseason, the team announced.
Parker suffered the injury with 8:52 remaining in Wednesday’s 121-96 victory over Houston in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, when he rose for a jump shot and landed awkwardly with no contact. He had to be carried off the court by a pair of teammates.
