Tony Parker to Have Precautionary MRI on Left Calf


San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker doesn’t expect to miss any of the Western Conference Finals due to a troublesome left calf, but Parker will undergo an MRI on Thursday. Per the AP: “Parker says the MRI is ‘just to make sure’ he’s improving on schedule from the injury, which limited his effectiveness in the final two games of the Spurs’ second-round series against Golden State. Parker had 15 points and a career-best 18 assists in San Antonio’s Game 2 win against Memphis on Tuesday night. The Spurs lead the series 2-0. Game 3 is Saturday night in Memphis. Parker says his calf feels better and the three-day break between games arrives ‘at a perfect time for me.'”
