According to L'Equipe, Tony Parker is on his way back to San Antonio for medical testing. We originally reported on Saturday that Parker suffered a mild ankle sprain against Austria.

According to a rough translation of the report, Parker was asked to return by Spurs brass so team doctors could test him, even though the inital MRI done in France showed only a mild sprain. Upon getting the request, an additional MRI was performed which confirmed the original diagnosis.

Parker reportedly said he did not understand the decision by the Spurs, especially after all of the testing, but would follow the orders of the Spurs and hopes to return back to his French team soon to compete in the qualifying games.

The Spurs are likely taking precautions to make sure one of their franchise players is indeed just suffering a mild injury and that he gets any necessary treatment.

This will probably keep Parker out for France's game against Italy, which he originally set as his projected return game to the French National Team after recovery.

It has got to be tough to be an international superstar athlete such as Tony. Looking forward to return to his national team, but having to report to his international club for medical exams beacuse the spurs cannot afford an unhealthy Parker as they are strenghtening the team for a quest for a fifth title. My opinion is that Tony is more important to the Spurs now, so I understand where they are coming from.

Um, that was not this Fred. I am upset that Tony is playing for France. Really, France? At least Manu plays for a respectable country. All France has done for us is treat our tourists like crap and find a way to back out of nearly every war. I realize you were born there, but seriously Tony; you cannot choose your country, but you can choose to ignore them.
