Spurs might have to get along without Parker

SAN ANTONIO - In the midst of a resounding and redemptive victory on Wednesday night, the Spurs' celebration came to an abrupt stop when Tony Parker was carried off the court with what appeared to be a serious left leg injury.

Kawhi Leonard had 34 points, eight assists and seven rebounds as San Antonio battled through the loss of Parker to beat the Houston Rockets 121-96 and even their Western Conference semifinal at one game apiece.

Parker departed with 8:43 remaining. Spurs officials said the 16-year veteran will undergo an MRI on Thursday morning, but San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said after the game that "it's not looking good".
