"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Manu Ginobili will miss the Spurs' season opener. (Fernando Medina, Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The San Antonio Spurs will start the season without one of their most experienced players.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The San Antonio Express-News&lt;/em&gt;' Mike Monroe reported via Twitter that shooting guard Manu Ginobili will not travel with his team for their season-opening trip to New Orleans on Wednesday night, and will instead be re-evaluated on Thursday. Ginobili has been struggling with back spasms throughout the preseason, and it is that injury that will keep him from tipping off the Spurs' 2012-2013 season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking to Monroe, Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich said Ginobilit attempted to practice on Monday, but could not complete the session.\n&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
