Tony Parker hit just 6-of-20 shots, one 3-pointer and 2-of-4 free throws, but finished with 15 points, five rebounds, a career-high 18 assists, three steals and just two turnovers as the Spurs held off the Grizzlies 93-89 in overtime to take Game 2 and a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.
Parker hit 1-of-2 free throws with 14.6 seconds left in OT to put the Grizzlies up by three, followed by a bad Jerryd Bayless miss from downtown. Parker was sensational all night, but the Spurs gave up an 18-point lead before winning in OT. Tim Duncan came through with a huge block, boards and bucket in OT to finish with 17 points, nine boards, two steals and four blocks after sitting out much of the fourth quarter with foul trouble, while Danny Green (11 points, three 3-pointers), Tiago Splitter (14 points, two blocks), and Kawhi Leonard (12 points, nine boards) all played well as every Spurs' starter scored in double figures. Game 3 is in Memphis on Saturday. May 22 - 12:10 AM

Tony Parker - G - Spurs

Tony Parker scored a game-high 20 points in San Antonio's Game 1 win on Sunday, adding one board, nine assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

He shot 9-of-14 from the field in the win, which is nothing new for Parker. During the regular season, he led all guards with his 52.2 percent from the field, but he's been somewhat cool in the playoffs, making 45.2 percent of his shots in the first two rounds. Parker's D on Mike Conley was also solid and the Spurs will look to take a big 2-0 lead on Tuesday.

Tony Parker shot 3-of-16 from the field during Thursday's 94-82 victory over the Warriors, scoring 13 points with three boards, eight assists, two 3-pointers and three turnovers in 36 minutes.

It wasn't his best game, but at least he hit a huge 3-pointer that served as the dagger to get San Antonio to the next round. He'll have his hands full against Mike Conley and the Grizzles, which could be trouble with the inconsistencies in the Spurs' O against inferior defensive teams.

Tony Parker hit 9-of-16 shots for 25 points, 10 assists and a steal as the Spurs crushed the Warriors 109-91 Tuesday to take a 3-2 lead in their series.

Danny Green had 16 points and a full stat line, Kawhi Leonard hit 7-of-8 shots and 3-of-4 3-pointers for 17 points, seven rebounds and two steals, and Tim Duncan double-doubled with 14 points and a 11 rebounds on 5-of-13 shooting. Manu Ginobili played just 25 minutes and hit 3-of-9 shots, but still finished with an effective 10 points, five rebounds, five assists and two 3-pointers in the win. Game 6 is at Golden State on Thursday, where the Warriors will look to bounce back and ensure a Game 7 in San Antonio.

Tony Parker (sore calf) expects to feel "more like himself" during Game 5 on Tuesday.

Parker admitted that the injury "limited him a little bit" in Game 4, when he scored 17 points on 6-of-17 shooting. "I just didn't have my normal lift for my jump shots and penetrate," he said. The good news is that the Spurs have had two days to rest, and there is no doubt that Parker will be in the starting lineup for Game 5.

Tony Parker (calf) finished the Spurs' overtime loss on Sunday with 17 points on 6-of-17 shooting, four rebounds, three assists and one steal.

The Spurs as a whole looked tired, particularly in overtime when they shot 1-of-10 from the field, but they'll only have one day of rest before hosting Game 5 on Tuesday. Parker's shot wasn't falling today, and Golden State's guards ran him ragged, but the good news is that his calf injury didn't prevent him from playing 41 minutes.

Tony Parker (calf) is "ready to go" for Game 4 on Sunday.

He had a baseball-sized knot in his calf on Saturday because Andrew Bogut kicked him in the leg, but all signs point to him being close enough to 100 percent to not influence his play much. Parker has been terrific this postseason and the Warriors will have to find a way to slow him down and cut down his penetration.

Gregg Popovich said that Tony Parker's left calf is sore on Saturday.

Parker has a baseball-sized knot in his left calf, so it's something he might have to deal with on Sunday. Pop added that there's "no doubt he plays," which suggests there's really no reason to think he won't be suiting up on Sunday. Parker carved up the Warriors throughout Game 3 and he's playing 35.7 minutes per game in the playoffs -- up from 32.9 in the regular season.

Tony Parker sustained a calf injury in Friday's win over the Warriors, finishing with 32 points, five boards, five assists and two 3-pointers on 13-of-23 shooting in 35 minutes.

He called the injury "new" in the post-game interview and added that he was kicked in the leg in the fourth quarter. Although, Parker did suffer a left calf injury back in 2011 that cost him two games. As far as his performance goes on Friday, he was outstanding and put up 25 points in the first half. Parker has been great all season and he's one of the most valuable players in the league. It would be a shock to see him not ready for Sunday.

Tony Parker has a gash on his right biceps, but he's expected to be fine.

Parker doesn't remember how he got the injury and chalked it up to playoff basketball, and since he's not expected to miss any time and is not concerned about it, neither are we.

Tony Parker didn't shoot the ball well in San Antonio's double-overtime 129-127 win on Monday, making 11-of-26 from the field for 28 points with eight boards, eight assists and three turnovers in 48 minutes.

While his overall shooting line wasn't nice, Parker went 3-of-3 from the field in the final 3:31 of regulation to help San Antonio go on a huge 15-0 run to shock the Warriors. Parker had sub-par numbers against the Warriors this year, making 47.2 percent from the field in four regular season games, which is down from his point guard-high 52.2 percent. He continues to be clutch and some things never change -- like the playlist for San Antonio's music selection over the past 15 years.

Tony Parker breezed past the Lakers' make-shift starting backcourt for 23 points, three rebounds, four assists, two steals and zero turnovers on 9-of-16 shooting in just 26 minutes of Sunday's 103-82 blowout win over the Lakers to complete the first-round sweep.

Parker came in dealing with a scratched eye, but it clearly didn't bother him tonight. Parker had a great series against inferior competition, and the Spurs will start preparing for Round 2, where they'll meet the winner of the Warriors-Nuggets series. Parker's work will be cut out for him in the next series, where he'll either have to match up against Stephen Curry or Ty Lawson, as opposed to a one-legged Steve Nash, Andrew Goudelock and Darius Morris.

Tony Parker is fighting through a scratched eye, suffered when Darius Morris tried to steal the ball from him in Game 3.

"It was a little bit blurry in the second half, it's a little bit blurry this morning," Parker said on Saturday. "The doctors say (Sunday) it should be fine." Parker said he wasn't "really seeing the rim" after the injury in Game 3, but thankfully it's nothing thought to be serious and he's on a three-day regimen of special eye drops to expedite and improve the healing process.

Tony Parker's health is improving, but Gregg Popovich admitted his point guard still isn't fully healthy.

"Some things Tony's not yet confident with, movement-wise," he said. "But he's getting better every game, every day. He's much closer to being whole." Parker had 28 points, four boards and seven dimes in Game 2 vs. the Lakers, so if he isn't at full strength yet, it shouldn't be much longer until he is. Parker added that this is "by far" the closest he's felt to full health in quite some time.

Tony Parker took advantage of a hobbled Steve Nash to go off for 28 points, four rebounds, seven assists and a 3-pointer on 9-of-20 shooting, and also hit 9-of-10 free throws in Wednesday's Game 2 win over the depleted Lakers.

Nash was moving at half speed and Steve Blake suffered a hamstring injury that will leave him iffy for Game 3. Tim Duncan added 16 points, five boards and two blocks, Kawhi Leonard was fantastic with 16 points and seven boards, and Manu Ginobili did work with 13 points, five boards, seven assists and three 3-pointers. The Spurs took a 2-0 lead with the easy, 102-91 win, as the series heads to Los Angeles for Game 3.
