Manu Ginobili is leaning towards playing for Argentina in the upcoming Beijing Olympics, according to a report by the San Antonio Express-News.

"Today, I feel I am more in than out of the Olympics," he said Thursday.

The Spurs, who did not want Ginobili to play unless his ankle improved, appear to be happy with his progress.

"He's progressing," Spurs' General Manager R.C. Buford said. "When it's time to play, he'll make a decision then."
