Manu Ginobili's left ankle injury will prevent him from playing in Argentina's bronze-medal game against Lithuania on Sunday, according to team doctor Diego Grippo.
"There is no chance that Manu will recover," Grippo said. There are no specific details on the extent of the injury, but it sounds like he aggravated the ankle sprain that nearly prevented him from playing in the Olympics in the first place. Grippo also mentioned that Andres Nocioni has tendinitis in his left knee, and his status for Sunday's game is unknown. Aug. 22 - 1:29 pm et

I actually like Lithuania in this game. Lithuania will be more motivated and determined while Argentina has to feel deflated. They played their tails off and got blown out. Ginobli is the heart and soul of the team. They have other good players, but they aren't very deep as is. They really only play a rock solid 7 guys.
Argentina has already lost to Lithuania. I like Lithuania and the UNDER.
