Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says Manu Ginobili should “definitely not” play for Argentina in the Olympics if his injured left ankle doesn’t improve.

Ginobili hurt his ankle early in the playoffs and a recent MRI revealed that a ligament in his heel is about five times the size of the one in his other heel, Popovich says.

Popovich says Ginobili will have another MRI in three weeks and that “if it hasn’t changed at all, I think he should definitely not play in the Olympics.”

Argentina won the gold medal in 2004 in Athens.
