Ginobili could be activated tonight

After missing the past five games on the injured list with a strained back, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili could play tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Ginobili practiced with the team on Monday and coach Greg Popovich says he's close to being ready.

"He looked rusty, but he looked pretty healthy," Popovich said. "He looks like he's pretty close to being able to play."

However, Popovich said that Ginobili would only be brought off the injured list if the team found it fit to do so.
