Tony PsrkerAs if seeing Manu Ginobili getting injured in international play last summer wasn't enough, Spurs guard Tony Parker suffered a right ankle injury against Austria in the first game of an International Tournament in Strasbourg in preparation for EuroBasket 2009.

According to an online report, Parker felt pain in his left thigh 12 minutes into the game. Because of the extent of the thigh pain, Parker never realized he also suffered a mild sprained right ankle.

The sprain is reportedly mild, with no tearing or ligament damage and an MRI done today revealed no major injury, and Parker is expected to return for the game vs. Italy.

We'll be sure to report more as it becomes available.

Sounds like he is getting beat up. His thigh and his ankle? Crap.

Indeed jack. Think about this, TP played in the plays at full spped, then now got hurt in this warm up game, then will play in the Eurobasket 2009 tourney, then play in the preseason/training camp. Lots of wear and tear. Not good.

At least it's mild, I guess.

Still, it's scary. If I was a GM I would do anything possible to stop my players from doing this.
