Diagnosed with Right Quad Tendenosis. Out for tonight's game and status is day-to-day.
Jason Minnix on ESPN Radio just announced that Tim is out for tonight's game because of a right quad tendon issue. It has something to do with the tendon.
He is listed day-to-day!!
Get rested and hopefully he will be ready for Friday's game against the Cavs.

Tendinitis != tendinosis

Editor's update: The Spurs sent out a news release at 3:09 p.m. announcing Tim Duncan will not play tonight due to "right quad tendonosis."
I had the same question.
Thanks, Dex!
I know that the ST Posters will be freaking out!!!
I cant find a cool article on Right Quad Tendonosis.
Are Tendonitis and Tendonosis the same thing?
Sounds very similar to the "patella tendonitis" that some people here were speculating.
This was a very common "injury" that NBA players had back when you had to list an injury (real or imagined) to be put on the inactive list.
no. not that these are the most reliable sources, but they cover the basics:

Well, compared to ligament or cartilage damage, I'm guessing this is good news. Tendinitis of the muscle would explain why Duncan was lacking strength in his knee.
From what I can tell, this is an injury you have to wait out. Playing through it puts the knee at risk. Might have to hold out Duncan a few weeks to allow it to get right.
It doesn't sound like a bad injury. Good news.
You may be right, Timvp!
The main thing is to have TD and MG fully healthy for the playoffs. That's all I and the Spurs Nation wants!!

It is important to know the difference betwteen Tendinitis and Tendinosis when trying to understand why you have pain around a joint. Tendinitis refers to an ACUTE inflammatory problem with a tendon. This can occur if you have used a specific muscle too much over a short period of time. The classic example is achilles tendinitis that occurs after a long or hilly run. It can also occur by playing too many sets of tennis or swimming excessively. Tendinosis, conversely, is CHRONIC problem with a tendon that usually has lasted at least 6-8 weeks. In this case, there isn't any direct inflammation but rather a poorly organized attempt at repair of the tendon by the body. This results in partial or complete tendon tears in some cases and manifests itself in pain and weakness when trying to use the muscle that is attached to the tendon.
The treatments for this two problems initially are the same. Rest from the activity that is causing the problem, anti-inflammatory medication and a stretching and strengthening program. For more information, go to http://www.emedx.com
More internet regurgitation.
Yeah, just to be sure, Duncan isn't (apparently) dealing with tendonitis -- he's dealing with tendonosis. It's similar, apparently, but treated differently.
Sounds like Pops will get a second ten-day, at least.
So Duncan's had the problem for long?
No Timmy for tonights game?
Tony and his Tounge will be there

Yep!
I hope he can show something..so the Spurs can keep him for the rest of the season!
I ain't no doctor, but it don't sound great.
Let's not overreact, Timvp!!!
We have to look at the glass half-full, not half-empty!
Oberto's thumb?
Spurs’ Duncan has quadriceps tendinitis
San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan has been diagnosed with right quadriceps tendinitis and will miss Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Duncan, who also missed Tuesday’s 93-76 win over Dallas, is listed as day-to-day.
San Antonio was without two of its top three players against Dallas, with guard Manu Ginobili out for the next few weeks thanks to a stress reaction in his right ankle.
A perennial All-Star, Duncan leads the Spurs in scoring (20.7) and rebounding (10.7).
The Spurs also announced that center Fabricio Oberto suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left thumb Tuesday. He will be fitted with a splint and play against Portland.
At this point, the Spurs should just focus on being as healthy as possible going into the playoffs regardless of rank 2-7.
This ship is getting a creaky as we reach land.
