CLEVELAND -- Spurs guard Tony Parker won't need surgery on his broken right hand, meaning he may be able to return for the playoffs. He is expected to miss about six weeks.

"Everything is by degrees. That would be worse if he needed surgery, so I guess it makes me feel better," Spurs coach Greg Popovich said. "They told us they thought it'd be six weeks before he could do anything, so it's probably four to eight weeks."

Tests showed Parker fractured the fourth metacarpal in his shooting hand Saturday during a victory at Memphis. He was averaging 16.5 points per game, but has been hobbled all season by a slew of injuries. Now the Spurs will be without their second-leading scorer until at least the playoffs.
