NBA: Manu:”Won’t start at full power.”

The San Antonio Spurs start the season with injury worries, which is why Manu Ginobili does not approach the start of the season with the highest expectations.

Tony Parker will probably miss the Spurs for a long time to come, and Kawhi Leonard also missed the preseason.Ginobili therefore said to ESPN:”We are not going to start at full speed.We won’t be as ready as we were in the last few years.But hopefully we’ll be able to solve it in time.”

San Antonio has won over 60 victories in each of the last two years, but now, in addition to the two top performers Parker and Leonard, newcomer Rudy Gay has to fight with the rehab after he tore his Achilles tendon last season.Gay is also waiting for his preseason debut.Gregg Popovich said he was going to be conservative with all three problem children.

“It’s not a marathon, it’s not a sprint,”explained Patty Mills.”We all understand that.Ginobili agreed with him:” We should not rush into anything.All of us would like to be healthy at all times, but that’s not how it works.That’s why we have to be patient.But we know, of course, that without Kawhi and Tony, we’re not the team we’d be with them.”
