Tony Parker: 'Hamstring injury not too bad'

Tony Parker has said that his hamstring injury is "not too bad" and should not stop him playing in the opening game of the Western Conference finals.

The point guard was forced out of the team's 104-82 win over the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this week after suffering tightness in his left leg.

The 31-year-old told San Antonio Express-News: "It's OK, not too bad. Not as bad as the NBA Finals. NBA Finals was a grade two. This one is grade one. So should be fine for Monday."

The Spurs will face the Oklahoma City Thunder for a place in the NBA Finals.
