San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker won't need surgery on his broken right hand, the NBA team said Monday.
The Spurs confirmed what coach Gregg Popovic said Sunday night, that the 27-year-old French guard broke the fourth metacarpal, a bone between the wrist and lower knuckle, and will miss about six weeks.
Parker hurt his shooting hand while diving for a loose ball in a victory at Memphis on Saturday.
The expected recovery time means Parker could be back in the Spurs backcourt in time for the playoffs, provided San Antonio qualify.
The Spurs, 36-24, are seventh in the Western Conference but only one game ahead of eighth-place Portland.
