TONY PARKER MEDICAL UPDATE
SAN ANTONIO ? The San Antonio Spurs today announced that Tony Parker underwent an MRI on his left ankle on Wednesday in San Antonio. The results showed that Parker is suffering from chronic inflammation and confirmed there is no structural damage in his ankle.
Parker received anti-inflammatory shots today which are designed to decrease the swelling in his ankle joint.
No timeline has been set for his return. Parker will not travel with the Spurs on the team's six-game Eastern road trip which starts on Tuesday in Indiana.

I say the Spurs rest him until he is fully healed, irregardless of how long that is.
I realize this jeopardizes any potential Kobe for Parker trade this season, but so be it.
If you add the All Star game, he will be out at least 3 weeks.
Previously Spurs were talking about Parkers heel having bone spurs. Not sure he might have plantar f, which affects both ankle and heel.
