Spurs' Parker exits game with sprained left ankle

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Spurs guard Tony Parker was helped to the locker room against the Atlanta Hawks after spraining his left ankle Wednesday night.

Parker tumbled to the baseline after a hard drive to the basket in the third quarter. He was helped off the court while hopping on his right leg, not letting his left foot touch the ground.

The Spurs said X-rays were negative and that Parker would not return to the game. A timetable for his return was to be determined Thursday or Friday.

Parker missed several games earlier this season after spraining his left ankle Nov. 6. He has also been struggling with plantar fasciitis in the same foot all season.

Parker is the second-leading scorer for the Spurs, averaging 17.1 points.
