Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is very happy in San Antonio, but his lingering groin strain is starting to make him nervous.
"I'm a little paranoid," Ginobili said. "I don't want to miss any more games."
The guard's contract pays him $10.7 million this season, the final of his deal.
"I am not in the most confident part of my career," Ginobili said. "I've been struggling and I need to feel better."
The Spurs are waiting to discuss a new contract with Ginobili to see if his recent history of injury vanishes.
