So it appears as if Ginobili will be back with the Spurs for two more seasons.

Ginobili averaged a career-low 7.5 points and 18.7 minutes per game last season. He was still a valuable contributor off the bench, and he often played in the Spurs' crunch-time unit on the wing with Kawhi Leonard. He and Vince Carter will be the oldest players in the league this year.
