Monday night was an emotional one for the San Antonio Spurs fans, not only after seeing their team get swept by the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, but it could have also been the last time Manu Ginobili will appear in a game for the Silver and Black.
However, during the postgame press conference, the 39-year-old Argentinian international admitted that he feels he can still play at the highest level. He hinted that there's a chance he'll still suit up for the Spurs next season, but also said he'll need time to think things through. Ginobili then shared that it may him three to four weeks before he comes up with his final decision.

Ginobili spent all his 15 NBA seasons with the Spurs and was part of the most successful trio in league history, together with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. They won four championships and were a huge reason why the Spurs consistently made the playoffs.
Should he decide to retire, the former two-time All-Star will cap off his stellar career being widely recognized as one of the best international players of all time, and will be very difficult to replace in the Spurs roster.
