SAN ANTONIO (AP) - So much for the revamped San Antonio Spurs so far.
For the first time in the Tim Duncan era, the Spurs have a losing record at the 10-game mark following three straight losses and injuries to Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili (MAN'-oo jih-NOH'-blee). The Spurs fell to 4-6 after losing Thursday to Utah, which won in San Antonio for the first time in 10 years.
It's been that kind of start for the Spurs, who had high expectations them after adding Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess and DeJuan Blair this summer. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is being patient with his new roster and says he's not worried yet.
Ginobili is expected to miss a week with a strained left groin, and Parker is day-to-day with a nagging ankle sprain.
