"In another sign the NBA's lockout is coming to an end, Spurs point guard Tony Parker says he has played his last game for ASVEL Villeurbanne, the French League team which with he's been occupying himself during the labor impasse.
According to Univision.com, Parker and fellow Frenchman Ronny Turiaf, of the New York Knicks, will now rest up for the start of training camps with their respective teams.
"The main goal was to win this game," Parker said after leading ASVEL to an 80-74 win over Strasbourg, "and especially we do not want injuries, which would have been a penalty in our last game. We are glad to finish on a high note."
Parker is one of a handful of Spurs playing overseas who now must scramble back stateside in advance of training camps, which could open as early as Dec. 9. Tiago Splitter (Spain), Danny Green (Slovenia) and Da'Sean Butler (Latvia) are all expected back soon."
