Ginobili and Tony Parker were both inactive for Thursday night's game against Utah. Ginobili left the first quarter of Wednesday's overtime loss at Dallas and didn't return.

Parker re-aggravated a sprained left ankle in a loss Saturday against Oklahoma City and didn't play against the Mavericks. Parker, who sat out Thursday and has missed four of San Antonio's last five games, rolled his ankle in a loss on Nov. 6 at Portland.
