InsideHoops.com is reporting that the Spurs have announced Manu Ginobili will miss the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs with an "increased marrow edema and a stress fracture in his right distal fibula." This is obviously a big blow to the Spurs' chances at winning a title this year in a strong Western Conference.

Why Manu Ginobili will break ankles until he's 40

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 15:11:29 -0500

There's something in the water in San Antonio. How else do you explain these ridiculous numbers for Manu Ginobili in his first two games back? Game 1 : 11 minutes, 12 points, 4 rebounds Game 2 : 18 minutes, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block This is some ridiculous production : Manu is scoring about a point a minute, and he is shooting 67% from the field.

Manu Ginobli needs to have surgery

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:19:28 -0500

Okay, I guess he kind of has to after basically being injured and proceeding to play in the Olympics. According to the AP via Yahoo, it sounds like he'll need the same kind of surgery that Monta Ellis already had. I guess we'll have to wait for an official prognosis before we adjust the Big Board (where he is currently ranked at 22.50) again. I can't see him dropping out the Top 100 Fantasy Basketball Players if he has surgery soon, but the longer he waits, the more his value will drop. Like I said, more analysis when we have a prognosis.
