The Spurs will be without guard Manu Ginobili for 10-14 days because of a strained left hamstring.
Ginobili revealed the diagnosis on Twitter:

Ginobili, 35, injured the hamstring late in the first half against the Timberwolves on Sunday. He did not return to the game.
Injuries have nagged Ginobili all season. This is his fourth setback so far. He sat out preseason with a sore foot and has missed four games because of back spasms and a thigh contusion.
Without Ginobili, the Spurs will turn to one of their many stellar role players. Danny Green, Gary Neal and Nando De Colo could all see increased roles.
In his 11th season, Ginobili is averaging 12.9 points, 4.6 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 24.4 minutes.
