BEIJING — US guard Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and Argentina guard Manu Ginobili of the Spurs were both on a flight from Beijing to Chicago that included Olympians from the US, Canada, Australia, and Chile.

Ginobili told the Boston Globe that he is on his way to San Antonio to get his ankle injury evaluated. The 2005 NBA All-Star reinjured his left ankle against the US in the semifinals of the men’s basketball tournament last Friday and didn’t play Sunday when Argentina beat Lithuania to win the bronze medal.

“We’ll see what they want me to do,” Ginobili said about the Spurs.
