http://0rz.tw/1tekq Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says he isn't yet concerned at the relatively slow nature of Manu Ginobili's rehabilitation from his latest ankle injury. Popovich, however, does have a timetable for becoming concerned. “This coming Thursday will be four weeks since he's off the crutches,” Popovich said before Saturday's game against the Rockets. “At that point, we hope that he's on the floor working out. If he's not, we'll be concerned.” Ginobili, battling a stress reaction in his right ankle, missed his 14th consecutive game Saturday. He watched from behind the bench as the Spurs outlasted Houston 88-85. Popovich says Ginobili should return “in a week or two.” He is aware that is the same prognosis he gave at this time last week. “I keep saying a week or two,” Popovich said. “It's like the stimulus package — pretty soon, it's going to start having an effect.” Ginobili's rehab continued in Houston. He and similarly injury-plagued forward Ian Mahinmi stayed late after Saturday morning's shootaround to test their bad ankles for the team's strength and conditioning staff. Ginobili's workout included more shooting, with movement, a regimen he began last week. Gooden, Take 2: Consider Saturday's game Drew Gooden's silver and black coming out party. After a four-minute cameo in Thursday's loss to the Lakers, Gooden logged 15 minutes, 12 seconds off the bench against the Rockets and scored 13 points. Afterward, he pronounced himself ready for more duty, if needed. “I think I'm ready,” Gooden said. “I spent about a week on plays — sidelines out of bounds, baseline out of bounds, half-court sets. I think I've got a good grasp of everything.” One player happy to see Gooden in uniform? Tim Duncan. Gooden's presence gives the Spurs their most potent scoring threat in the post, perhaps since David Robinson retired. On Saturday, the Spurs used Gooden as a post-up threat while Duncan rested. “We were in a little bit of a slump there, and he came in and gave us some offense,” Duncan said. “That's something we're going to expect from him. If he can give it to us, he'll be a big boost to us.” Traveling men: This is the first road trip Ginobili has made since before the All-Star break. It is the first road trip Mahinmi has made since November. Popovich, however, says one should not read too much into that. He traveled Ginobili because he was afraid for the guard's health. “I brought Manu so he won't jump off a building,” Popovich joked. “He's going stir crazy.” As for Mahinmi, who has struggled with ankle issues all season, most recently undergoing surgery for removal of a bone spur in January? “Ianny is starting work out on the floor a little bit,” Popovich said. “ Being with the team is kind of a reward for him.” -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.116.98.123
