Manu Ginobili has been one of the best players in the NBA for 15 seasons, helping culminate nearly two decades of San Antonio Spurs greatness. 

The versatile forward, with the passing vision and ability of a top-notch point guard, is now the second-oldest active player in the entire NBA. He's stuck with the Spurs throughout his entire illustrious career and is prepping for yet another playoff run. 

He's now the second-oldest active player in the NBA at 39 years (and 258 days as of this writing) old, which begs the question: will this be his final season in the NBA? Ginobili signed a one-year contract last summer with the Spurs and could call it a wrap after the playoffs. 

That was the big question for San Antonio last offseason, especially with Tim Duncan hanging up his sneakers for good. Many felt Ginobili would join him in retirement, but instead he signed a $14 million contract to stick around one more season. 

Manu was coy about his plans then, and once again remains non-committal about his plans once the postseason is a wrap, reports Jeff Mcdonald of the San Antonio Express News.

“I never said I was retiring,” Ginobili said during shootaround Wednesday. “I get this question maybe 40 times a season now. I never said I wasn’t or I was. I just wait and see.”

This is Ginobili's default retirement answer, saying almost the exact same sort of thing last year. He logged a career-low in points (7.5) and minutes (18.7) per game, but the Spurs are leaning less on him than they have in the past. 

Head coach Gregg Popovich kept Ginobili's workload down as they, as always, keep their focus on the bigger picture. Manu knows what to expect from a physicality standpoint at his advanced age and doesn't expect that to be any different at 40.

“I think physically, I know what I’m going to be. It’s not going to change much," Ginobili said.

The Spurs, as usual, are one of the top postseason teams. The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors will be their big challenges in the Western Conference if they plan on making it to the NBA Finals.

Whether they end the year with a championship or not doesn't seem to be a factor for Ginobili, either.

“I’m not going to say it’s irrelevant, but pretty close. Winning or not winning is not going to change what I decide to do in the future," he said. 

There's little indication which way he's leaning, and there's also the matter of how another one-year contract with the Spurs would look should he feel ready for another round in the NBA.
