Spurs' guard Manu Ginobili will return on Monday night against the Grizzlies after missing the first 12 games of the season with an ankle injury.

"It's great to hear," Ginobili said. "It's been enough time."

San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich announced the decision after the team's morning shootaround. It is unknown how many minutes Ginobili will play against Memphis.

"I'm going to be out of shape, a little slower," said Ginobili. "But those are things you only get from playing. I feel like it works better for me getting 10 minutes of playing time than (spending) 20 minutes on a treadmill."
