Tony Parker: Scores 15 points in preseason debut

Parker was one of four of the Spurs’ expected starters who sat out the preseason opener Monday against the Suns, but he returned to the court Saturday in impressive fashion. Parker has seen his scoring average dip in three consecutive years, falling all the way to 11.9 points per game. With Patty Mills showing last season and during his run with Australia in the 2016 Summer Olympics that he’s fully capable of directly a team’s offense, Parker could sacrifice more playing time and scoring production in 2016-17.
