Tony Parker’s return

Good news, everyone! Tony Parker is set to return to the court against long time rival Dallas Mavericks. He suffered an injury during the playoffs this past year. I’m pretty sure January was his original return time, but I guess he’s ready now.

Knowing Pop, Parker will likely come off the bench and play limited minutes as he works his guard back into rotation. The real question is how well will Parker actually play? Before the injury, he wasn’t playing all that great. He’s getting to be known as “old” in the NBA. So, we’ll see.
