Now that the lockout is underway, basketball related news in America has been relatively quiet. On the other side of the pond, international basketball still has news these days. According to the French site OuestFrance.fr, San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker is expected to attend an exhibition game in France on Friday assembled by Portland Trail Blazers’ Nicolas Batum.
Even more surprising, is former Spur and new Indiana Pacer guard George Hill is expected to make an appearance, as well as new NBA champion and former Spur Ian Mahinmi.
Please be aware that I used a translator tool to interpet the article to the best of my ability.
Nicolas Batum they confirmed the presence of Tony Parker next Friday at the “all star game.” For this exhibition meeting between the best youth of the week, Nicolas Batum has assembled a set of luxury. So Tony Parker [is to] attend and his brothers, but also George Hill, San Antonio Spurs player as “TP”, but also, perhaps, [I]an Mahinmi
How cool will it be if Parker and Hill can play one more time together before the lockout ends.
As the NBA and Players Union aren’t expected to get back into discussions until after the Holiday week, the majority of news these days will be coming from overseas. Keep following Project Spurs as we’ll be bringing you the latest news on the clock on all things Spurs.
