Spurs' forward Manu Ginobili expects to be healthy in time for Argentina's run for gold at the Beijing Olympics, the Associated Press is reporting.

Ginobili hurt his left ankle early in the playoffs, and it hampered him in the Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. After averaging 18.2 and 21.3 points in the first two series against Phoenix and New Orleans, Ginobili's output fell to 12.6 points.

"Yesterday I got an injection to get the swelling off of the joint, and they told me that in a week, 10 days I'll be totally fine," Ginobili said. "So I trust them, and I think I'm going to be perfectly healed."
