Manu Ginobili, the heart and soul of the Argentina basketball team, re injures a left ankle that was injured in the playoffs of 07. Manu Ginobili was doing phenomenal in the Olympics but crashed during one of the most important games of his career. The U.S.A, Argentina showdown.
During the first quarter of the game, Manu went down writhing in pain holding his left ankle. As Argentina watched and hoped he was o.k, he limped off, into the Argentina locker room.
But Argentina held on for most of the game but couldnt manage to pull out the victory. The 101-81 20 point loss for Argentina was the best they could do for Manu.
Manu Ginobili had decided to undergo surgery to repair a ligament in his left ankle. For the Spurs, they are unfortunate to not have him for the pre season.
Manu's return is expected sometime this November and this time his ankle should be completely healed, and Manu shall be healthy again.
Even though Argentina suffered a devastating loss to the U.S.A. , I believe, that Manu
Ginobili is still A hero!
