Duncan tumbles, Popovich tossed

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — After spending the previous two weeks plugging
one point guard after another into their lineup, the Spurs may have
a couple of significantly larger holes to fill tonight.
Tim Duncan missed the final 3 1/2 quarters of Monday's 88-80 loss
to Memphis after spraining his left ankle. Less than seven minutes
after Duncan exited, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was ejected after
he appeared to slightly bump referee Tony Brown while heatedly arguing
a non-call.
Robert Horry was the next to go, leaving just before halftime after he
tweaked his groin. Manu Ginobili, after getting kneed in his rear, spent the
game's final five minutes sitting (uncomfortably) on the bench. Bruce Bowen
somehow managed to play 37 minutes despite having a 102-degree fever earlier
in the day.
"Our menu," said Spurs assistant P.J. Carlesimo, "was limited."
Duncan said he thinks his injury isn't too serious, although he
likely will not play tonight against Miami. He will have X-rays
or a magnetic resonance imaging exam taken when he is re-examined
today. His ankle was not X-rayed at the Pyramid on Monday night.
Duncan had initially considered trying to return Monday. He had his
ankle retaped, but he was in too much pain when he put his full weight on it.
"I sprained it pretty good; unless (trainer) Will Sevening is a genius,
I probably won't be back for (Miami)," said Duncan, who appeared to jam
his foot into the court after making a shot in the lane. "But Thursday
(against the Los Angeles Lakers) is definitely a possibility."
Horry, who did not return after his groin tightened, will be
re-examined this morning to determine the severity of his injury.
Ginobili said he could have returned Monday and expects to play tonight
against the Heat.
The Spurs, to their disappointment, are quickly becoming well-schooled in
sports medicine.
Tony Parker, who started the run of injuries when he sprained his left ankle
on Oct. 17, will miss his fifth consecutive game tonight and is doubtful to
play Thursday against the Lakers, Popovich said before Monday's game. Reserve
point guards Anthony Carter (left patella tendinitis) and Alex Garcia
(fractured left foot) are on the injured list.
NBA officials also will likely review Popovich's ejection today to determine
whether his actions warrant an additional fine — he automatically lost
$1,000 Monday night — or a suspension. Popovich began yelling at Brown
early in the second quarter when no call was made after Memphis forward
Shane Battier appeared to rake Shane Heal across the arms. After Brown
gave him his first technical, Popovich marched onto the court and began
yelling in the official's face. TV replays indicated he made slight
contact with Brown during the confrontation.
After Brown ejected him, Popovich was restrained by his assistant coaches
and Malik Rose. He then turned and calmly walked to the locker room, where
he joined Duncan for the remainder of the game.
"He thought I was actually lonely," Duncan said. "We hadn't had any
personal time, so he just wanted to come back and hang out for a while."
(唔...原來 Pop 老大被驅逐出場還要被罰錢..是為了要陪 Duncan 呀 ..||)
The rest of the Spurs almost delivered a victory as Duncan and Popovich
watched on TV.
Prior to his injury, Duncan punished the Grizzlies, scoring 10 points in
the game's first seven minutes and helping the Spurs to a 20-10 lead.
Memphis quickly erased the Spurs' advantage after Duncan left, but trailed
78-77 with 2:30 left when Rose made a pair of free throws.
Stromile Swift, who scored five of his 14 points in the final 1:56, put
the Grizzlies back in front with a bank shot and the Spurs followed with
two of their 25 turnovers. Mike Miller turned Rasho Nesterovic's overthrown
pass into a dunk with less than a minute left, delighting the 12,821 fans
in attendance who watched Memphis (2-1) grab its first winning record in
four seasons.
By the end of the game, Nesterovic (13 points, 14 rebounds) and Bowen were
left as the Spurs' only uninjured starters.
"It's strange enough when you lose four guys at one position," Carlesimo
said. "The last thing we needed was what happened tonight."
