Spurs' Manu Ginobili: Ruled out Thursday

Ginobili will be rested for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.

Analysis:

The Spurs are playing on the second night of a back-to-back, so the decision to rest the 39-year-old Ginobili comes as no surprise. Ginobili is coming off of one of his best performances of the season Wednesday against the Kings, finishing with 19 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes. Expect him to return to action Saturday when the Spurs host the Warriors.
