"Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said that Manu Ginobili will undergo surgery after breaking the fifth metacarpal on his left hand.

Popovich said the surgery would be performed Thursday.

"They'll put it out later in more detail, but he's going in in the morning," Popovich said. "They are going to do what they do."

Popovich said that Ginobili likely would be idled for six to eight weeks.

"They have to put it back together again," Popovich said. "I don't know what they are going to do, but he's going to have surgery.""
