Manu Ginobili: (Leg) Ruled Out For World Cup

Ginobili (leg) has officially been ruled out from participating in the FIBA World Cup by the Argentine Basketball Federation, the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

The Spurs already sent Ginobili a letter which told the veteran shooting guard that he would not be granted permission to play at the FIBA World Cup. Ginobili intended to participate in the competition, but the Spurs found a stress fracture in his right leg during an end-of-season exit interview. While the issue is not expected to affect Ginobili's status for the beginning of the 2014-15 season, it is serious enough that the Spurs are not comfortable with allowing him to play over the summer.
