Los Angeles (AFP) - San Antonio Spurs star Manu Ginobili said he expects to return from testicular surgery next week.
Ginobili has been sidelined since February 2 after being struck in the groin by Ryan Anderson during the Spurs' NBA clash with New Orleans.
"I'm pretty sure that will happen," said the 38-year-old Argentinian, who has begun practicing with the team.
"He's going more quickly then we would have imagined," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
