According to AOL Fanhouse’s Chris Tomasson, the Spurs intend to sign swignman Keith Bogans to a one-year, $1.03 million guaranteed deal. The 29-year-old, 6’5″ SG began last season with the Orlando Magic but was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in February. Signing Bogans, who is considered a solid defender, speaks to the front office’s concerns [...]

If you have the time, I suggest you take in this afternoon’s contest between France and Spain in the EuroBasket Quarterfinals, available live on ESPN360. France is undefeated so far but the tournament holds no tougher opponent than Spain. A victory today by France could make Les Bleus the new frontrunner. The key to that [...]

Rest easy, dear friends. According to the Spurs, Ian Mahinmi has a left hip contusion. But it’s nothing serious. In fact, he might already be cleared to play.

Marcus Williams comes into the season as the forgotten Spur. The Spurs signed him from the Austin Toros on April 8. Marcus Williams was the D-League’s best player at that point. His numbers in March were good, averaging 25 points, 7 boards and 6 assists a game. But April was something else entirely: 27.5, 10.5, [...]

Graydon Gordian contributed reporting. France took care of Germany yesterday in the opening round of Eurobasket. France captured the 70-65 victory behind a late scoring flurry of Tony Parker, who scored 11 points in the games final few minutes. Ian Mahinmi only played 4 minutes for Les Bleus, and this morning brings a possible explanation [...]

France needed a 5 point victory to advance past Belgium into Eurobasket proper. They got that, and tacked on an additional 33 for good measure, winning this morning’s contest in a 92-54 rout. I’m happy for Tony Parker, Ian Mahinmi and Nando De Colo on a personal level, and I think this is good news [...]

If you’re jonesing for Spurs basketball, it’s not such a bad time of year. Yesterday’s slate featured Tiago Splitter, Tony Parker, Ian Mahinmi and Nando De Colo.

Some version of that question keeps rearing its head in our comments section. It’s one those counter-intuitive things. You’d think Spurs fans would be satisfied after an offseason that saw a massive roster overhaul. But when post trade euphoria sets in, the market suddenly expands to all of our favorite players (that we imagine are [...]

Ian Mahinmi scored 12 points in 12 minutes and provided the French National Team with solid defense in their loss against Finland. His performance impressed Coach Vincent Collet, who will keep Ian Mahinmi instead of Johan Petro. This is newsworthy on a few fronts.

Mike Monroe reports that Roger Mason Jr. dropped his body fat percentage this summer in an effort to become “more active.” (I know, I’m late to the Monroe article.) Johnny Ludden tells us that Tim Duncan is down to 240. The arrival of skinny Timmy and a slim Mase raises my curiosity, but in a [...]

Kimmo Sinisalo is a Finnish citizen who, not surprisingly, lives and works in Helsinki. He’s been around basketball for 30 years. He’s a self-described basketball lifer who has coached, played, kept stats and referred more games at the amateur level than he can remember. He’s also a 48MoH reader. Kimmo had the good fortune of [...]

I’m curious to see what Austin holds for the Spurs this season. Recent Toros Ian Mahinmi, Marcus Williams and Malik Hairston will vie for court time in San Antonio. Player development in Austin may take a peculiar flavor this year. At least two players from last year’s team were not Spurs, but proved worthy of [...]

Tomorrow’s game between France and Italy is crucial for both teams. France, and Spurs Tony Parker, Ian Mahinmi and Nando De Colo, will qualify for play in September with the victory.

The France-Finland match is available online, but it might be short lived. Over at SpursTalk, Bruno has kindly pointed our browsers in this direction. This alert comes to you post tip-off. So if you want to watch, scurry on over. France 14, Finland 6. And yes, Tony Parker is playing. My understanding is that Ian Mahinmi [...]

Tony Parker has rejoined the French National Team after being recalled to San Antonio for a medical examination and short rehab stint. In his absence, the team lost Joakim Noah to Chicago (as planned) and upset the Italian team. So long as they perform well against Finland, the French are in prime position to advance. [...]
