Tony Parker injures hamstring in San Antonio Spurs' playoff win

Tony Parker was forced out of the San Antonio Spurs' playoff game against the Portland Trail Blazers with a hamstring injury.

The point guard suffered tightness in his left hamstring during the second quarter of the 104-82 win, and was unable to return after the break.

Teammate Tim Duncan told ESPN: "Luckily, we have a couple of days. It worries us obviously, but he's been going hard, had a great series thus far and it just kind of caught up to him.

"They pulled the plug on him before he hurt himself. He started to feel a little weird and I think they did the right thing, pulled the plug on him, so hopefully that helps him. Hopefully, there's nothing there."

Parker has averaged 21 points per game during this season's playoffs.
