SAN ANTONIO – Tony Parker sprained his left ankle and could be out two weeks, and the Miami Heat took advantage of his absence to beat the San Antonio Spurs 99-83 on Friday night.
Dwyane Wade had 33 points and 10 rebounds with the NBA’s leading scorer out of the game. The Spurs dropped to 1-4, their worst start since 1996-97 – a favorably miserable season that gave San Antonio the No. 1 pick and the right to draft Tim Duncan.
Parker sustained a moderate lateral ankle sprain and will probably be out more than two weeks, said Dr. Paul Saenz, a team physician. An MRI was expected to be performed Saturday.
