"If Tony Parker is going to play anywhere overseas during the NBA lockout, it's going to be his native France. That's what the Spurs' point guard told ESPN.com after a Les Bleus exhibition in London on Tuesday.

There have been reports that Parker was in discussions to play in China should the lockout linger. Though Parker acknowledged informal talks with teams in China, he says his focus is on France, where he is part owner of the French League powerhouse ASVEL.

He tells ESPN.com he won't make a decision about a lockout landing spot until after the Eurobasket tournament ends in September. A lot will depend on his health.

"I want to see if I'm healthy, if I'm hurt and by then we will also know a lot more what is happening with the situation of the lockout," Parker said."
