Spurs guard Manu Ginobili will undergo surgery on his broken left hand and is expected to miss at least two months.
Ginobili tweeted Wednesday he'll have a plate screwed onto his shooting hand today. He injured it in the second quarter of a loss at Minnesota on Monday night.
Ginobili was averaging 17.4 points and was San Antonio's leading scorer.
Losing Ginobili again is a major blow for the Spurs after the two-time all-star hobbled into the playoffs last year with a sprained elbow. That injury helped doom San Antonio in its first-round loss to Memphis despite a 61-win season.
Ginobili, 34, has become the emotional and offensive centerpiece for the Spurs as Tim Duncan has gotten older.
