Manu Ginobili (hand) to return on Saturday
Manu Ginobili - G - San Antonio Spurs
Feb. 10, 2012 - 4:20 PM ET
Manu Ginobili (hand) will return for the Spurs on Saturday after going through a full practice on Friday.
After missing 22 games with a broken hand, Ginobili won't start on Saturday and is not expected to play a full complement of minutes right away. There is talk of Manu staying in the sixth man role permanently, but the fact that he was having a breakout season (17.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.2 spg and 2.8 3PMg) before getting injured makes it hard to believe Coach Pop will leave him coming off the bench once he is fully up to speed.
