Tony Parker's injured left ankle has improved enough to allow him to participate in the last two games the French national team has played in preparation for the FIBA European Championships, scheduled to begin Sept. 3 in Spain.
Parker, who returned to San Antonio on Aug. 2 for treatment on his sore ankle after suffering the injury in a practice session, played last weekend in France's loss to Greece in a tournament in Strasbourg, France. He followed with a longer stint in a victory over Slovenia.
Parker is expected to be at full strength by the time France begins its quest for a berth in the 2008 Olympic Games at the European Championships.
