Parker's Return 'Getting Close'

The Spurs got Manu Ginobili back on Monday night and could have Tony Parker back in the lineup soon, as well.

Parker has missed eight games with a sprained ankle, and there is no definitive timetable for his return yet.

"He's getting close," Coach Gregg Popovich said of Parker. "It's not going to be three weeks. It's not going to be two weeks. It will probably be sooner than that."

Parker was the team's leading scorer, 27.4 points per game, before he suffered the ankle injury.
