Joseph to start for Spurs vs. Pistons

0

The San Antonio Spurs are preparing to begin a four-week stretch of games where they're expected to be without their All-Star point guard Tony Parker, as their first opponent during the stretch will be the visiting Detroit Pistons.

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said guard Gary Neal (tightness, left calf) and forward Boris Diaw (low back strain) will also join Parker on the injury bench.

Canadian second year guard Cory Joseph will be making the start at point guard, while Stephen Jackson will return to the lineup off the bench after recovering from a right sprained ankle. 

Pistons coach Lawrence Frank didn't feel the Spurs will have too much of a struggle without Parker for about a month, as he made some comments on the Spurs in his pregame interview.
