Tony Parker will be out about four weeks with a sprained left ankle, a critical blow to the San Antonio Spurs, who are off to their worst start in 12 years. An MRI exam taken Saturday confirmed the star guard’s injury. He was hurt in Friday’s loss to the Miami Heat while driving for a layup when he rolled his ankle. The 26-year-old Parker was second in the league in scoring behind LeBron James at 27.4 points per game.
