SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is expected to miss 10-14 days with a left hamstring strain. The Spurs say Ginobili had an MRI on Monday after getting hurt in the second quarter of Sunday nights game against Minnesota. Ginobili didnt play after halftime against the Timberwolves after scoring 12 points. He also had five assists in his 12 minutes. San Antonio won 106-88 for its 12th consecutive home victory. The 35-year-old Ginobili has already dealt with back spasms, a left quadriceps bruise and a thigh bruise this season, his 11th in the NBA. In 36 games, he is averaging 12.9 points and 4.6 assists per game. nike free trainer 3.0 prezzo . - A trainer flooding the field with five horses.

AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Mark Martin switched teams in the off-season to join Michael Waltrip Racing, the latest move in his multi-stop career. Wherever hes gone, the veteran driver has won, and it doesnt look as if itll take long to do it again with his new team. Martin followed up a solid run at the Daytona 500, nabbing his 52nd career pole on one of the last qualifying runs Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway. "You look at Mark Martin, it doesnt matter whose car he drives, hes good in it," said defending Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, who will start on the front row next to Martin for Sundays 312-mile race. "To me, its cool to see stuff like this where youve got a guy like Mark that has bounced around to different organizations and hes been fast and won races at everywhere hes been." Regan Smith appeared to be in line for his first career pole, sitting atop the grid with just a handful of qualifiers left. Two of those drivers were Martin and Stewart, who know a little about racing around Phoenixs mile oval -- or anywhere else. Martin was the first to pass Smith, turning a lap of 26.313 seconds with a top speed of 136.815 mph. Stewart also bettered Smith with the last qualifying run of the day, finishing .13 seconds behind. Smith watched it unfold quickly, seeing himself go from first to third in a matter of minutes as the TV cameras followed his reaction. "Yeah, you get nervous," said Smith, who wrecked in both Phoenix races last season. "You want to get it. Poles mean something, theyre stats. Nobody is going to remember we qualified third ... but were happy to be starting up front." Five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, off to a disastrous start to the season, will start on the second row with Smith after qualifying fourth. Juan Pablo Montoya qualified fifth, five days after a bizarre crash into a safety truck at the Daytona 500. Martin has raced for seemingly every team on the circuit while winning 40 career races. He spent the past three seasons with Hendrick Motorsports, but changed teams in the off-season, joining Michael Waltrip for a partial season. Martin, who will run 24 of 36 races this season while sharing seat time with Waltrip, struggled in qualifying at the Daytona 500 and started 22nd. He was good once the race finally got going after nearly two days of weather delays, leading two laps before finishing 10th at NASCCARs biggest race.dddddddddddd Martin followed that up by grabbing the pole at PIR, where hes won twice -- last in 2009 -- and has 28 top-10 finishes. Not bad for a grizzled 53-year-old whose first Sprint Cup race was in 1981. "I think all of you know that I do work real hard at it, and I know that I have to work harder at it than guys that are 20 years younger than me," Martin said. "Im willing to do that to be able to compete." Stewart made a change of his own during the off-season. Smoke won his third Sprint Cup title in 2011 by edging Carl Edwards in the final race, then fired crew chief Darian Grubb a week later. He later hired Steve Addington away from Penske Racing to serve as his new crew chief. Stewart and Addington had a good first run together, qualifying third for the Daytona 500. Once the race started, things didnt go so well; Stewart led two laps early, but wasnt really a factor, finishing 16th to extend his winless streak at the Daytona 500 to 14 years. "Its what I would truly consider our first real weekend with Steve Addington as crew chief," Stewart said. "Daytona is always kind of a different deal, but this is where you first really get to start working on the handling of your car with your crew chief. Im really proud of what we did yesterday and today." Johnson needed a good run at Phoenix. He had his run of five straight Sprint Cup titles last season with his worst season in NASCAR, winning just one race and finishing sixth in the Sprint Cup standings. Hoping for a bounce-back season, Johnson instead had his car fail inspection on the opening day of Speedweeks at Daytona, then was knocked out of the race on the second lap when he was bumped by Elliott Sadler. Johnsons start got even worse on Wednesday, when NASCAR announced crew chief Chad Knaus was fined $100,000 and, along with car chief Ron Malec, was suspended six races. Both were allowed to work at Phoenix after Hendrick Motorsports appealed the ruling. Johnson also was docked 25 points, leaving him 70 behind Kenseth in the season standings. Johnson has been good at Phoenix, though, winning four races in 17 career starts, so starting near the front was good news for what he hopes will be a big rally from a tough start. Im very proud of the lap," Johnson said. "The car has been great all weekend, and I look forward to tomorrows race." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
