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.
