Sore Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Duncan all sidelined
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan are all injured and the San Antonio Spurs don't know when they'll be back.
None of San Antonio's Big 3 will play Monday night against Portland. Parker is out with a left knee contusion and Ginobili won't play after injuring his left quad in Sunday's loss at Memphis.
Duncan missed his fourth game since spraining his ankle a week ago. Coach Gregg Popovich said before tipoff Monday that he hoped some of his stars would return before this weekend.
Forward Antonio McDyess is also out with a lower back contusion.
In all, the NBA-best Spurs will be down four starters against the Trail Blazers.
