Manu Ginobili will miss his sixth consecutive game tonight, and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich didn't sound too confident his All-Star guard would be ready to play by the end of this week. Ginobili has been sidelined since spraining his right mid foot in practice Dec. 12. He worked out Monday, testing the foot by running in a circle and doing other agility exercises. "All directions aren't cleared yet," Popovich said. "He can go some ways, some directions. In others, he can't still." Popovich said the team's training staff has told him Ginobili "possibly" would be ready to play Friday against Toronto. He interpreted that to mean Ginobili wouldn't be 100 percent. "Because it's not really an ankle ? it's the top of his foot ? I don't want to (mess) with a stress fracture or whatever else might appear," Popovich said. "We want to make sure he's totally healed before we put him back on the court." </div> Source
