Parker scores 15 for Spurs in return from injury

Tony Parker had 15 points and seven assists in his first game in three weeks, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 109-98 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.

Manu Ginobili scored 14 points and Tim Duncan added 11. Ginobili was in his third game back for the Spurs, who have won four straight and have their three All-Stars healthy for the first time this season.

In his first game since spraining his ankle Nov. 7, Parker fearlessly charged toward the basket and faked out defenders the way he previously did before missing the past nine games.

O.J. Mayo scored 32 points for Memphis, which lost for the second time this week to resurgent San Antonio. Since starting the season 1-4, the Spurs have won eight of 10.

Already one of the NBA's hottest teams with Parker out, the gang in San Antonio is back together at last.

Good way to come back. I'm not expecting him to return to scoring 20+ again anytime soon (especially with Ginobili back also), and it will take a while for the two guards to readjust to playing with the team again. Good signs though from the both of them in their recent returns, and I think the Spurs will have benefited greatly in terms of depth with this short period of playing without two of their stars.
