Wade doesn't have to practice with the Heat anymore...

....because of his nagging injuries.

Do you guys think the Spurs should do the same with TD given his knee issues, and his understanding of the system or do you think he should still practice?

I kinda wonder if allowing a player to skip practice would ruffle the feathers of the other teammates since SA was never a team to play favorites with any of their players.

Thoughts?

Actually we don't really know what's going on in practice, maybe Duncan is just sitting there and chatting with teammates and explaining some stuff to the new guys and not really practicing.

My question would be: if one of your players stops practicing for health reasons, why would the team make that public?!? Seems like a dumb move from Miami.

I don't think Duncan would miss practice, injured or not. If he could physically be there, he would.

I don't ever see ruffled feathers with the Spurs, if a player needed special handling I'm sure they'd all deal with it like pros.

But I don't see Duncan ever not being with his team if he can be.

I heard Duncan was smoking doobies in practice.

It's just practice. Practice. Come on man...practice.
