While the San Antonio Spurs evened their second round playoff series 1-1 with a blowout win over the Houston Rockets, the feeling around San Antonio is bittersweet at best, considering the Spurs lost quite a bit more than they gained in last night’s win.
An MRI today revealed Spurs guard Tony Parker suffered a ruptured left quadriceps tendon injury with 8:52 remaining in the fourth quarter, and the injury will require season-ending surgery.
It was apparent immediately that the injury was likely serious, as Parker has been known to bounce right back even from the stiffest contact in the paint after finishing against power forwards and centers.
