For all of you who can't get enough of the FIBA World Championships...
Tony Parker sprained a finger on his shooting hand in France's final exhibition game Tuesday, leaving his availability for the opening game of the World Championships in doubt. Parker injured the finger on his right hand while grabbing a player's jersey in France's 86-74 victory over Brazil. France's coach, Claude Bergeaud, said he wasn't sure if Parker would be able to play Saturday against Manu Ginobili and Argentina. Spurs officials were trying to gather information on Parker's injury and hoped to know more today. France flew from China to Japan this morning to begin its final preparations. The Spurs also are waiting to learn whether Bruce Bowen will make the 12-man active roster for the United States.
