Parker Becomes 17th NBA Player to Log 1,000 Games with 1 Team

San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker played the 1,000th regular-season game of his career on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat, making him just the 17th player in NBA history to log 1,000 or more games with a single team, per Jordan Howenstine of the Spurs' PR department.

The 32-year-old point guard got to celebrate his milestone with a relatively easy win over a rival, as the Spurs cruised to a 95-81 victory against the injury-depleted Heat.

It looked nothing like the Heat team that San Antonio faced in the NBA Finals last season, as LeBron James has since moved back to Cleveland, while Chris Bosh is out for the season due to blood clots in his lung.

Parker made seven of his 12 field-goal attempts over 26 solid minutes, finishing with 16 points, two rebounds, five assists, a steal and four turnovers.

Having now played 1,000 regular-season games in a San Antonio uniform, Parker joins a list of players that is topped by Utah Jazz legends John Stockton (1,504 games) and Karl Malone (1,434), with Parker's teammate Tim Duncan (1,322) sitting in fourth place, per Tim Reynolds of The Associated Press.

In addition to Duncan and Parker, the active players on the list are Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (1,280 games), Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki (1,258) and Washington Wizards forward Paul Pierce (1,102 with the Boston Celtics).

The Spurs may eventually add a third representative to the list, as 37-year-old guard Manu Ginobili has played 857 games for the only franchise he's ever suited up for.
