He has played in 40 games (all starts) this season for the Spurs and he is averaging 32.2 minutes, 16.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. George Hill will move into the starting line-up to replace Parker and he is a solid player. Hill has played in 44 games (9 starts) for the Spurs this season and he is averaging 25.2 minutes, 10.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. This will hurt the Spurs some as Parker is one of the best players on the team but Hill is a solid player so they won’t fall too much.

The Spurs will be without F/C Matt Bonner for the next four weeks due to a broken bone in his right hand. Bonner has played in 24 games (5 starts) for the Spurs this season and he is averaging 20.1 minutes, 8.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. His main asset is his long range shooting as he has made 45.1% of his three point shots forcing opposing teams to send a big guy away from the basket to defend him opening up Tim Duncan around the basket.

Finley has played in 17 games (5 starts) this season for the Spurs and he is averaging 18.3 minutes, 5.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. The Spurs have enough veterans to pick up for Finley while he is out of action.

He has played in 9 games (1 start) for the Spurs so far this season and he is averaging 23.4 minutes, 14.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.0 steal per game.
