Spurs get Parker back from ankle injury.
Tony Parker was expected to play for the Spurs on Friday night for the first time in 10 games since injuring his left ankle earlier this month.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said his All-Star guard would come off the bench against Memphis. He was hurt in a Nov. 7 loss to Miami, when he rolled his ankle driving to the basket early in the game.
Parker’s return gives the Spurs their Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili for the first time this season. The Spurs won seven of nine without Parker, thanks in part to the emergence of rookie George Hill.
