Gregg Popovich expects Tony Parker to beat the original four-week prognosis that followed after Parker injured his left ankle on Mar.  2.

“He’s doing fine,” Popovich said. “I guess he’s on schedule. Two weeks is (Friday). Initially they told us four weeks probably.

“I don’t think it will be quite that long. I don’t know if I’m being too hopeful, but I think it will be shorter than four weeks.”

Parker has progressed to running on a treadmill, and recently began taking some shots at the team’s practice facility.
