Duncan to sit out Spurs-Wolves
By Mike Monroe on Mar 17, 2009 6:40 PM
Acknowledging some concern about Tim Duncan's sore knees,
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich decided to have his All-Star power
forward sit out Tuesday's game at the AT&T Center against the
Minnesota Timberwolves, the second game of a set of back-to-back games.
"Timmy will sit tonight in the back-to back," Popovich said.
"He doesn't love it, but I just think it's important for him
to be fresh and healthy for the end of the season. I think one way
to do it is to limit the number of back-to-backs you play in down the stretch. That's what I'm doing."
Duncan sat out three games, from Feb. 24-27, with tendonosis in his
right quadriceps. He returned for the Spurs' March 1 game at Portland,
and had not missed a game since.
Popovich said Duncan's knees have bothered him at various times this
season, but stressed that Duncan would have preferred to suit up for
Tuesday's game.
"From time to time, Timmy's knees will bother him and it will affect
his lay to some degree," Popovich said. "For the most part, he's had
to deal with that more than people would know, and done a great job
with always being there for us. I'm just forcing him to sit."
