San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker suffered a ruptured quad in early May and did not return to the playoffs. Parker expects to return better than ever in January, he told L’Equipe (translated by Eurohoops):

“I will play my best basketball when I return in January”, Parker told L’Equipe. After his injury in the NBA playoffs, the player is on the road to recovery and already wants to give it all for next season.

He is expected to make his return with the Spurs in about six to eight months, and he still feels frustrated with the injury: “The first thing that came in when I got injured, was frustration. I was super good and we had the chance to go until the end and get the title.”

“The coach’s plan worked like a clock. I was consistent, playing for twenty to twenty five minutes per game. My series against Memphis was good and I had a good start in the season.”

To be accurate, Parker actually played 26.4 minutes per game in this year’s playoffs, averaging 15.9 points and 3.1 assists on superb shooting: 52.6 percent from the field, 57.9 percent from deep and 100 percent on free throws.
