SAN ANTONIO -- With the San Antonio Spurs set to report to the team facilities Monday for media day, point guard Tony Parker received some positive news Friday when doctors cleared him to participate in the club's upcoming training camp, after he suffered a season-ending torn quadriceps tendon in May during the Western Conference semifinals.

"The thing is, I did an MRI on Friday, and the doctor said they were really happy with the MRI," Parker told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated. "It looked very good. So they cleared me. But it's still going to be like another, I think, two months to get back in shape and getting my leg stronger.
