Spurs point guard Tony Parker started but played just 13 minutes Tuesday night in a loss to the Detroit Pistons in his third attempt to get back on the court after straining his left hamstring. Parker had missed 13 games total since initially suffering the injury Dec. 5 at Memphis. Parker had missed five straight games since aggravating the injury for a second time Dec. 25 against Oklahoma City. "It's been very frustrating," Parker said before the game. "It's never happened to me before for that long, but it happens. Hopefully it's behind me and the last treatment I did is hopefully the good one and now I can put it behind me and just get back to playing and playing good basketball."
