Spurs star Parker says he'll make season debut Monday

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- San Antonio Spurs star guard Tony Parker announced on Sunday through Facebook that he will make his season debut Monday against the Dallas Mavericks.

"I'm coming back on tomorrow's game against Dallas! I'm really excited to play again," said Parker, who has been sidelined since May when he ruptured his left quadriceps tendon during San Antonio's matchup with the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals.

"It has been some tough months with a lot of recovery, patience and mental strength," he added.

"I wanted to thank everyone who believed in my return. Fans, Family, Friends, my Recovery Team and the San Antonio Spurs, I couldn't have done this without your support. Go Spurs!"
