Spurs lead Wiz 51-26 at halftime. Nobody cares.

Duncan had a similar moment a few seasons back against Portland. Ended up being only a sprain. Spurs can only hope for more of same luck.

only good news in scary Duncan fall: he walked off court and TV camera that followed him to back hall show him walking on his own

Martell Webster fell while driving, hit the court then rolled into the back of Duncan's legs ... sort of like an o-lineman getting rolled.

Duncan exited through opposite tunnel with help from DeJuan Blair and Stephen Jackson under each arm.

Duncan got rolled up on from behind. We'll keep you posted.

Tim Duncan down. Holding his left knee. This is not what you want to see.

Career in the bushes?

I never heard of a player tearing his acl from the bench.

Sent from a Super Samsung 3 via Master Roshi's Island.

So why not rest him til the playoffs with that logic?

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

resting players would stop him from tearing a acl

The main reason Popovich rests his Big 3 is to avoid shyt like this from happenening.

Nothing on the Tim Duncan injury report that says "ligament" or "torn" so sounds like a net win. Will update after the game.

Tim Duncan diagnosis: Right ankle sprain, left knee sprain. Will not return.

Spurs saying right ankle and left knee sprain.

They do an MRI in the lockeroom?

As long as it's not a tear, please don't let it be a tear

 

[A-Train]

sounds like he hyper extended it

a sprain IS a tear...

@spurs: Tim Duncan suffered a sprained right ankle and a sprained left knee. He will not return to tonight's game.

^^

atleast that's what they say

A torn ACL means he's done, maybe even his career, a sprained knee even a grade 3 is something he'd be able to come back from this season.
