Tim Duncan may have a broken rib (rumor)

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

This could be nothing more than a minor chest contusion, and maybe the Spurs (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/san-antonio-spurs) are just being extra cautious with their veteran big-man, but there is a rumor going around that Tim sustained a broken rib. If the spasms clear up and the MRI is negative, Tim could be back sometime during their West Coast trip that starts in LA tomorrow. If a rib is broken we can expect the Spurs to ease Duncan back to the lineup. Rib fractures usually take 4-6 weeks to heal.
We'll update you as soon as there is anything official.

Although I guess this topic title will gain more people's attention.

Hope it ain't true but suppose he's out for that duration we can see how they fare, ie a preview of '15-'16 season.

Same here. For selfish reasons, I would like to see him play.
