Tony Parker: Ruled out Thursday with hip soreness

Parker (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns.

Analysis:

Even with three full days off between games, Parker will sit out Thursday's contest after he left the Spurs' most recent game against the Mavericks due to soreness in his right hip. It's unclear whether the Spurs are picking their spots with his playing time given that Thursday is the front end of a back-to-back set, so there's still a possibility Parker could be available for Friday's game against the Lakers. Look for Patty Mills, Kyle Anderson, and Ray McCallum to absorb most of Parker's minutes Thursday.
