LOS ANGELES -- Spurs guard Tony Parker sat out Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, and San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said the six-time All Star will be sidelined for quite some time because of multiple injuries. Popovich said earlier Tuesday that Parker would be out of action "for the foreseeable future" because of numerous aches and pains involving his back, groin and calf. The 13-year veteran, who played 11 minutes Sunday in the NBA All-Star game, is the Spurs leading scorer. He is also the only player averaging at least 30 minutes for Southwest Division-leading San Antonio. Last season, Parker was the only NBA player to average at least 20 points and seven assists while shooting over 50 per cent from the field and 80 per cent on free throws. "I think hes just spent, mentally and physically," Popovich said. "The last five games or so was about 65-70 per cent, at the most, and hes developed a little nagging thing every time. Hes had a shoulder and a hip and a calf and all this kind of stuff, and now its his Achilles a little bit. "All these things have added up, and I think its affected him mentally, also. I think the last three years have caught up with him -- playing a whole NBA season, and for the whole summer qualifying for that European championship that they finally got this year. Im just looking at the big picture and trying to get him whole for the stretch." Popovich watched Parkers first 5 minutes during the All-Star game before changing the channel, but didnt think Parker did further damage by playing. When asked about the minimum number of games Parker would miss, Popovich said: "I dont think about that. Im just going to go with it and see when I think hes ready to go again," he said. "Im not going to speculate on how long or how many games, because I dont know." Spurs forward and defensive stalwart Kawhi Leonard missed his 12th straight game because of a broken bone in his right hand. "Its still painful for him to catch the ball and shoot the ball," Popovich said. "We want to get him into one-on-ones and two-on-twos and let him get banged around a little bit first in practice situations, rather than throwing him into a game after four weeks, so he can get confident with it. "He tried to shoot a little bit over the break, and again today. After about 10 or 12 shots, it started to get painful and stiff again. The doctors say its healed and calcified and that sort of thing, but hes got to get through the pain and get used to the little glove that hes wearing." Popovich also addressed remarks made by former NBA coach George Karl on ESPN that he "heard whispers" indicating 14-time All-Star Tim Duncan was thinking about retiring after the season despite having a $10.4 million option for next season. "I guess people say whatever they want to say," Popovich said. "George must have his reasons, I dont know. I havent talked to George about such things."

Toronto bounced back from an awful road trip with a solid 5-2 victory over New York on Monday night in the opener of a six-game homestand. R.A. Dickey allowed one earned run over 6 1/3 innings to help the Blue Jays beat the Yankees for the first time in 11 games. "The real tragedy in the season will be if theres no growth out of whats happened," Dickey said. "So were in a place where were probably evaluating some things, seeing what we can do better and how we can perform better next year and what pieces to the puzzle are going to fit. "If were able to do that, then were able to take a step forward if nothing else from a year that has not gone as expected for anybody. So again, the real tragedy is if theres no growth out of this but I think that were headed in the right direction as far as thats concerned." Edwin Encarnacion drove in two runs and Jose Reyes scored twice for the Blue Jays (59-73), who have spent most of the year in last place in the A.L. East. The bullpen did its job as Aaron Loup, Sergio Santos and Casey Janssen -- with his 24th save -- kept New York off the scoresheet once Dickey left the mound. "Everything fell in line tonight but the key was (it was a) close ballgame, we plated some runs, gave us a little breathing room," said Toronto manager John Gibbons. "Thats what we havent been able to do the last couple of weeks." Toronto was 2-8 on its recent road swing and needed a quality start from Dickey (10-12), who delivered a steady performance on a hot, humid evening at Rogers Centre. His knuckleball was effective as he struck out six, walked three and allowed six hits. "Hes on a nice little roll," Gibbons said. "Hes pitching pretty good. Hes got to feel good." Dickeys lone earned run came when Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez turned on a pitch in the fifth inning for a solo shot that tied the game. It was his third homer of the season and 650th of his career. The Blue Jays came back with three runs in the bottom half of the frame. They took advantage of a rare error from right-fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who misplayed a drive from Encarnacion near the warning track. "If I could have just gone straight home from right field, I would have," Ichiro said. "I was that embarrassed." Reyes scored on the error and Adam Lind followed by lashing another balll into right field to push Ryan Goins across.ddddddddddddAfter an intentional walk to Brett Lawrie of Langley, B.C., Moises Sierra hit a sacrifice fly that scored Encarnacion. That was it for New York starter Phil Hughes (4-13), who allowed three earned runs and seven hits. He was replaced by southpaw David Huff, who struck out Josh Thole for the third out. Aaron Loup replaced Dickey in the seventh inning and struck out former Blue Jay Vernon Wells and Derek Jeter. Sergio Santos came in with two outs in the eighth inning and struck out Rodriguez. "From now on every game is going to be important for us," Reyes said. "We just need to finish this (season) strong so that we go to spring training with a better feeling. Like I said, every win from now on is going to be huge." The Yankees (69-62), who are fourth in the East but entered play just 3 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot, opened the scoring in the first inning. Leadoff man Brett Gardner worked a full count off Dickey before singling up the middle. Gardner moved to second on a Thole passed ball and advanced to third on a Jeter groundout. Robinson Cano followed with a tough chopper that deflected off Dickeys glove to Reyes at shortstop. The only play was to first base, allowing Gardner to score. Toronto tied it in the second inning when Kevin Pillar hit a flare to centre field that scored Lawrie from third base. The Blue Jays took the lead an inning later when Encarnacion drove in Reyes with a single to left field. After the Rodriguez homer, the Yankees loaded the bases with two outs but Dickey got out of the jam when Cano flew out to centre field. Both teams had seven hits. Announced attendance was 35,241 and the game took two hours 33 minutes to play. Notes: Rodriguez, who is appealing a 211-game suspension by Major League Baseball, was booed before every at-bat. ...
