In the offseason, Ginobili required ankle surgery and that forced him to miss the first month of action. Then at the All-Star break, the Spurs discovered a stress reaction near his other ankle.

After returning to action, Ginobili felt stiffness in his ankle. After further examination, it was determined that his stress reaction had turned into a stress fracture.

Without Ginobili, San Antonio’s chances of capturing their fifth NBA championship are greatly diminished. In fact, their chances may be non-existent at this point.

The Spurs have previously won NBA championships in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007. Currently, the Spurs are the third seed in the Western Conference with a record of 49-27.
