Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich stated that Manu Ginobili should "definitely not" play for Team Argentina in the upcoming Olympics if his ailing left ankle does not improve, according to ESPN.com.

Our View:Ginobili hurt his ankle early in the playoffs and a recent MRI exam found that a ligament in his heel is around five times the size of the one in his other heel. He will undergo another MRI in about three weeks, and Popovich warned that he should not compete in the Olympics if the ailment hasn't improved at all. Argentina won the gold medal back in 2004 in Athens.

He said he must immobilize the ankle for 3-4 weeks, but that he still hopes to play for Argentina.

Manu Ginobili blames himself for the Spurs' failure to knock off the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, according to the AP. The Spurs lost the series against the Lakers 4-1 and the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year commented, "I felt less confident in the two opening games of the series than in the fifth, I was not ready for those two after the terribly tough game against the New Orleans Hornets in the conference semifinals." He battled a nagging ankle injury as well as fatigue and he added, "My physical condition was an important reason. I feel I am responsible for the elimination because of how I felt and because I was unable to give it my all."

Our View:Ginobili gave it his best effort, and he shouldn't fault himself for being hurt.
