Manu Ginobili to come off bench after return?
Manu Ginobili - G - San Antonio Spurs
Feb. 10, 2012 - 8:10 AM ET

Gregg Popovich is "leaning toward" Manu Ginobili (hand) coming off the bench when he returns.

Ginobili is expected to return on Saturday against the Nets barring a setback. Ginobili has come off the bench previously in his career and found great success in doing so, but it's unclear if Popovich considers a reserve role a long-term move for the Spurs. Ginobili was balling before going down, averaging 17.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.8 trey balls per game.
