Tony Parker: (Hamstring) Will Return Tuesday

Parker (hamstring) will start Tuesday against the Pistons, Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

Parker has missed the Spurs' last five games, and 10 of the last 12 overall, while battling a nagging hamstring injury. He'll give it a go Tuesday but could be a risky daily play in his first game back, as the Spurs could impose a minutes limit. Regardless, Parker's return to the starting lineup means Cory Joseph will shift to the bench.
