One day after getting knocked hard to the floor in the opening game of the NBA Finals, Spurs guard Tony Parker said his back was "very sore" but he expects to play Sunday when the series resumes.

Parker was hurt in the first quarter when he was fouled by Cleveland guard Larry Hughes on a drive to the basket. Cavaliers guard Sasha Pavlovic crashed into Parker while he was in the air, dropping him onto the court with a thud.

Parker immediately grabbed his lower back and right hip before being helped to his feet.

The Spurs didn't practice Friday, but Parker received treatment on his hip.

"It hurts," Parker said, "but I think I'll be fine."
