Olympics are over for injured basketball star Ginobili (Extra)

Beijing - Argentine basketball star Emanuel Ginobili is injured and will miss Sunday's game for Olympic bronze against Lithuania, Argentine team doctor Diego Grippo confirmed Friday. 'There is no chance that 'Manu' will recover. He will not play against Lithuania,' Grippo said. A recurring injury to his left ankle forced Ginobili to remain on the bench for most of Friday's semi-final, which saw defending champion Argentina lose to the United States, 101-81. 'Ginobili is in a lot of pain, he is very sad,' Argentine coach Sergio Hernandez said. The San Antonio Spurs shooting guard was on court for just 6 minutes and 21 seconds in the semi-final and scored 2 points before withdrawing at half-time. Andres Nocioni may also miss the game against Lithuania. 'He has tendinitis in his left knee. We will see if he recovers,' said Grippo.
