Tony Parker will miss France's first match in the upcoming Eurobasket qualifiers, when they face Italy on August 5th. After getting hurt in one of the preliminary matches, Parker was called back to San Antonio by the Spurs for observation. In the end, their doctors saw the same thing that France's did, and determined that the injury was minor and nothing to worry about. So he'll be allowed to return to Les Bleus next week, and will have have missed the Italy game for nothing. In a four game group stage, this could prove vital for a French team that struggled mightily without Parker in a 70-69 win against Hungary.
