Manu Ginobili: Leaves Practice With Calf Injury

Ginobili was kicked in the calf during Friday's practice and will likely be sidelined during a portion of training camp as a result, the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

There are some conflicting reports on the severity of Ginobili's calf injury, but the Spurs will likely be as cautious as possible with the veteran considering that he entered training camp with an existing leg injury. As for right now, Ginobili doesn't seem to be in any long-term danger, but he may miss valuable preseason time that would better prepare him for the regular season.
