Manu Ginobili erupted in Game 4 with 21 points, five 3-pointers, four rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks, but the Spurs shot 35.5 percent from the field before losing in overtime.
Manu came in shooting just 33.0 percent in the series vs. Golden State, and tonight he missed a would-be game-winner late in regulation, but he was generally the only bright spot for San Antonio. His 37 minutes also marked a new season-high and we'll be watching for signs of fatigue in Game 5. May 12 - 6:55 PM

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left in double-OT on Monday to beat the Warriors, finishing with 16 points, seven boards, 11 assists, one steal and two 3-pointers on 5-of-20 shooting.

It wasn't his best game, but Manu made a big play to win it. "I went from trading him on the spot to wanting to cook him breakfast tomorrow," Gregg Popovich said about Ginobili. The play from the sideline got the ball to Manu all by himself for a 3-point make and the Warriors were caught sleeping a little. Ginobili played 36 minutes and was very active, so his hamstring injury that has bothered him for much of the second half of the season seemed like a non-issue. The Spurs will look to maintain their home-court advantage on Wednesday in Game 2.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili confirmed that his hamstring is feeling good after Game 1 on Sunday.

Ginobili called the hamstring "a little tight," but then followed it up with "feeling really good," so the mild tightness can be attributed to the lengthy time off the veteran had. He had 18 points in 19 minutes and was the difference against the Lakers in Game 1. He should be ready to rock again in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili scored 18 points in just 19 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday with two boards, three assists, two steals and two 3-pointers on 6-of-13 shooting.

He scored eight points in the final 1:25 of the third quarter, which was really a back-breaker for the Lakers. Manu went to the locker room for a brief moment in the second half, but it believed to nothing injury related. Ginobili and the Spurs second unit spells trouble for the Lakers and the Spurs bench outscored the Lakers 40-10.

Manu Ginobili said he'll be limited offensively but he still expects to contribute in other ways.

Ginobili is basically being held together by string and duct tape at this point, but he's still of vital importance to the Spurs. While he might not impact enough to help out any fantasy owners in a postseason league, Ginobili will still be counted on to play a hard 25 to 30 minutes.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili played 12 minutes and hit just 1-of-4 shots for two points, one rebound and two assists in Wednesday's loss to Minnesota.

The Spurs are limping into the playoffs after losing three straight and while we're taking Manu off the injury report, he doesn't look 100 percent.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili (hamstring) is expected to play limited minutes on Wednesday.

Ginobili's health is of the utmost importance to the Spurs' playoff hopes, but he's unlikely to be worth streaming in fantasy leagues with a slew of action on the schedule. Ginobili could be extremely limited as the Spurs won't do anything to jeopardize his long-term availability.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili (hamstring) has a chance to return in San Antonio's season finale against Minnesota.

The Spurs play the Warriors on Monday before taking on Minny for the final game of the season, and if Ginobili can get back on the floor before the playoffs begin, it would be a big help for his team. Unfortunately for fantasy owners still playing, this news doesn't mean much as even if Ginobili returns he'll be extremely limited and is not worth owning.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili (hamstring) is "progressing" but he hasn't yet been cleared for contact.

Manu also hasn't been ruled out of the Spurs' final three games, but of course we expect the Spurs to proceed with extreme caution. "He'll be all over me [to play] ... once the medical staff says he's OK," said Gregg Popovich. "It's going to be a scary decision. If you go too early and he's not ready, he'd probably be done for the playoffs." Manu's long-term health is even more critical now that the team has jettisoned Stephen Jackson.

Manu Ginobili (hamstring strain) will miss three-to-four weeks.

Brutal. Gregg Popovich hinted that it would be "weeks" rather than "days" for Manu to get back, and a three-week absence puts him out of commission for the regular season as well as potentially the beginning of the postseason. The Spurs will do everything possible to get Ginobili ready for the playoffs, but he may not be ready when the Spurs' first series starts. Without Ginobili in the lineup, the Spurs will rely more on guys like Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Updating a previous report, Manu Ginobili (hamstring) will miss "more than a week," and Gregg Popovich said that he could be sidelined for the start of the playoffs.

"It's a huge blow for us because he's the guy who allows our second team to do what it's been doing all year long," said Popovich. He is officially done for fantasy purposes, and the health of the Spurs' super sixth-man could be the difference between a playoff run and playoff ruin.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Gregg Popovich said that Manu Ginobili's (hamstring) timetable is closer to weeks not days.

He will not play Sunday and there was little doubt that the Spurs were going to keep him out for at least a few games. Manu owners can probably cut bait at this point and there's no clear winner for a speculative add with Pop's messy bench rotations. Gary Neal was the early favorite.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

The Spurs have listed Manu Ginobili (right hamstring) as "out" for Sunday's game against the Heat.

Gregg Popovich said that Manu wasn't expected to play last night following Friday's game and there's a very good chance that Manu misses Monday's game against Memphis. The Spurs won't rush Manu back and if he's on your roster, there's very little reason to hang on at this point of the season. Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green will pick up some of the slack on offense while Gregg Popovich will likely use a patchwork approach with his bench to help fill the void.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Gregg Popovich said he's not expecting Manu Ginobili to play against the Heat on Sunday.

"I don't think he can play," Popovich said. This was an expected quote from Pop and Manu owners that are going to be in a do-or-die situation come Sunday might want to consider cutting him. The Spurs have already brought Manu back early from a hamstring injury once this season and they're almost certainly going to handle him with kid gloves. Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green will help Tim Duncan and Tony Parker carry the load. Manu played just three minutes and scored two points on Friday.

Manu Ginobili - G - Spurs

Manu Ginobili pulled his right hamstring in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Clippers and will not return.

He walked back to the locker room under his own power and considering how he already aggravated a left hamstring injury earlier this year, the Spurs are likely going to play it safe and keep him out for multiple games. Gary Neal has moved back into the rotation with Manu out, but Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green stand to benefit the most and are must-start options. We're not expecting Manu to play against the Heat on Sunday and this time the NBA won't be giving "substantial sanctions" should they sit him.
