Parker plans to play in Game 1 tonight

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio guard Tony Parker plans to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

Parker has been dealing with a left ankle sprain and missed the second half of the Spurs’ Western Conference-clinching win in Game 6 of their series against Oklahoma City.

He was on the practice floor with teammates and pronounced himself ready to go afterward.
