Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs played his second game on Friday night after returning from an ankle injury. Against the Los Angeles Clippers, Ginobili illustrated why he’s such a fantasy basketball force. Despite playing limited minutes, he dominated for San Antonio.
In 17 minutes, Ginobili had 14 points, seven assists, three steals and one block while hitting 5-of-7 shots from the field, 2-of-3 attempts from behind the three-point line and 2-of-2 shots at the charity stripe. As he returns to health and gets in better shape, expect his minutes to return to about 30 to 32 minutes per contest.
Ginobili is the rare fantasy basketball player that you can count on even when he comes off the bench. The Spurs rely on him for production and he comes to play on a nightly basis. If you have him on your roster, keep him active from now on.
The overall impact on San Antonio’s roster will be positive. Tony Parker might not have to carry such a huge load but since Ginobili is such a good passer, his impact will almost entirely positive for the fantasy basketball world.
Here is a Manu Ginobili video showing you highlights of what the Argentine star is capable of doing on the basketball court:
