Spurs' Ginobili won't play Game 1 against Memphis
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Spurs guard Manu Ginobili won't play in Game 1 against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Coach Gregg Popovich says he is taking no chances after his All-Star sprained his right elbow in the regular-season finale. George Hill will start in Ginobili's place Sunday.
Popovich said Ginobili wasn't happy about the decision. He wouldn't speculate whether Ginobili would be ready for Game 2 on Wednesday.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ginobili is San Antonio's second-leading scorer, averaging 17.4 points.
The 33-year-old practiced with the Spurs on Saturday, and his teammates thought Ginobili would likely play.
