Spurs' Ginobili has surgery
Basketball Betting Lines
09/03/2008 -
San Antonio, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - San Antonio Spurs star guard Manu
Ginobili underwent surgery Wednesday to correct a posterior impingement of his
left ankle.
Ginobili will be in a splint and on crutches for three weeks. He will then be
evaluated to begin a rehabilitation process.
The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year originally suffered the injury in the
Spurs' playoff series with the Phoenix Suns. After a rehabilitation program,
Ginobili was cleared to play in the 2008 Olympics. He then aggravated the
injury in a semifinal loss to the United States during the Olympics and did
not play when Argentina downed Lithuania in the bronze medal game.
Following the conclusion of the Olympic Games, Ginobili returned to San
Antonio and an MRI conducted confirmed that he had aggravated the injury
but there was no additional damage to the ankle or the ligament.
Ginobili averaged 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 74 games for
the Spurs last season.

Dallas Cowboys 15-1 Super Bowl Odds With Romo, Owens Concerns
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
