Ginobili (thigh) will not play Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili continues to nurse a bruised right thigh, and Tuesday will mark his fourth consecutive absence. The Spurs appear content to evaluate the 40-year-old on a game-to-game basis, so consider him questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Grizzlies.

Ginobili (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili is set to miss a third straight game, as he's yet to shake a lingering thigh bruise. Considering the Spurs' typical conservative approach with their veterans, they'll likely be as cautious as possible with Ginobili's recovery, so there's certainly a chance he misses more time. With Ginobili out once again, look for Kyle Anderson, Bryn Forbes and Davis Bertans to see added playing time.

Ginobili (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Paul Garcia of TheSportsDaily.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili will be a game-time call for Sunday's tilt after missing the Spurs' previous two contests with a bruised right thigh. His status should clear up closer to tipoff, but if he's unable to play again, Kyle Anderson, Bryn Forbes and Davis Bertans should continue to benefit.

Ginobili (thigh) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Raptors, Michael C. Wright of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili is set to miss a second straight game and the fact that he's being ruled out a day in advance isn't necessarily encouraging for a speedy return. Either way, with Rudy Gay (heel) and Kawhi Leonard (groin) still out as well, there should be added opportunities for the likes of Kyle Anderson, Bryn Forbes and Davis Bertans on the wing. Ginobili's next opportunity to return will be Sunday against the Pacers.

Ginobili (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili had to leave Monday's game early with a bruised right thigh and the Spurs aren't going to rush him back into action, so he'll get the night off Wednesday. Considering the Spurs' typical conservative approach, Ginobili could miss more time, though his next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Raptors. With Ginobili out, guys like Kyle Anderson and Bryn Forbes could pick up additional playing time off the bench on the wing.

Ginobili suffered a right thigh contusion during Monday's game against the Hawks and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
It doesn't sound like anything overly serious for the veteran wing, though it will be worth it to monitor his status moving forward considering the Spurs' typical conservative approach. With just a day off before traveling to Brooklyn for Wednesday's game, Ginobili can be considered questionable for that contest and it wouldn't be surprising if the Spurs take a cautious approach.

Ginobili will be rested for Monday's game against the Kings, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran scored a season-high 26 points in 27 minutes (which matched a season-high) Sunday against the Blazers, and the Spurs will continue their trend of holding the 40-year-old out of one half of back-to-back sets. Expect Ginobili to return to action Thursday against the Lakers.

Ginobili posted 26 points (9-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocked shots and a steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
With Sunday's excellent outing, Ginobili became the first player over 40 in NBA history to post multiple 20-plus points in multiple games off the bench. He reached that milestone due in large part to his red-hot shooting night from beyond the arc, where he drilled six threes in nine attempts. As one might expect, Ginobili's fantasy impact has dwindled in the twilight of his career, but occasionally he will turn back the clock with a decent stat line here and there. Without question, Sunday's game was the best example of that with a season-best 26 points. The Spurs needed a quick fix to adjust their game plan without Kawhi Leonard (shoulder) and Ginobili found his shot at the right moment. Don't expect this kind of output from him moving forward, though.

Ginobili scored 21 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 4-4 FT) to go with one rebound, three assists, two steals and one block across 19 minutes during Friday's 103-89 win against Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran guard was a very efficient scorer on Friday, scoring a season-high 21 points in 19 minutes. Ginobili has scored in the double-digits in seven out of his last ten games for an average of 10.2 points. However, including Friday's high scoring performance, Ginobili has scored in the double-digits in just over half of his 33 games played. With Rudy Gay (heel) out until at least January 13, Ginobili may see more opportunities to provide valuable points from the bench over the next three games.

Ginobili will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Ginobili got the night off Wednesday for rest purposes and as expected, will rejoin the team ahead of Friday's contest. He'll take on his typical role as one of the first wings off the bench, likely seeing minutes close to his season average of 20.9 per game.
