Ankle sprain may sideline Spurs' Parker for week


Posted Nov 8 2009 7:28PM

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Spurs guard Tony Parker is not expected to play Monday against Toronto because of a sore left ankle.

The Spurs said Sunday that Parker's injury was a mild sprain that could sideline him for a week. Parker rolled his ankle Friday night in the second quarter of a loss at Portland. He did not return to the game.

Parker is averaging a team-high 14.8 points and four assists. He hurt the same ankle at the start of last season and missed three weeks.
