Spurs’ Ginobili: ‘Strange, sad’ to play first playoff game without Parker

HOUSTON – Spurs guard Manu Ginobili acknowledged he might have played his last game with Tony Parker after the point guard suffered a postseason-ending and career-threatening injury Wednesday night in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Rockets.

“Yeah, it goes through your mind,” Ginobili said.

When Game 3 tips off Friday night, it will mark the first time Ginobili, 39, has participated in a playoff game without Parker, 34.

The last time the Spurs participated in a playoff game that did not include Parker was May 27, 2001, when he was still a 19-year-old member of the French League.
