Get a shot and play.
Any guesses whether he'll play Monday?
Selfish, I know, but it might be my only chance to see him play in person.
Edit: All I want is Duncan healthy. It's just such lousy timing for me.![]()
If it was that easy...he would have played last night.
I would rather lose the day-to-day battle and have a shot to win the war than the opposite.

Sorry, but now you understand how the people in Denver felt.
I can't find any instances of NBA players dealing with quad tendenosis. The bad news is it sounds like something that won't totally clear up until next season.
IMO, he will come back shortly and plays trough it. There is a reason why Spurs list him as "day to day".
I understood then. And if Pop sat Duncan healthy Monday I'd be disappointed but I support Pop's decisions.
There's no guarantee who you'll see on the court.
?
That makes no sense.
Aren't we all?![]()
Timmy will be fine, no worries. He just has to rest it up, stay off of it for however long he can, and take some medicine for it. He's our franchise guys, he's never, ever let us down. Believe in #21.
There better be a ring at the end of this crazy road, because this season makes me want to go![]()
I got the text message and I was wondering what was going on. However, this problem seems to have arisen from a while back.
In Denver, Tim did complain of a sore knee. No one in the media paid attention though. I remember a thread here where he talked about it, said the knee is always sore.
That's so true, Senor Spur!
Great perspective!!!

if he doesn't play, you might get to sit by him near the bench.

McDonald chimes in, with the Oberto mention again.
Duncan has tendinitis, won't play vs. Blazers
By Jeff McDonald
Spurs medical personnel have determined that All-star forward Tim Duncan, who missed Tuesday's victory over Dallas, has tendinitis in his right quad. He will miss tonight's game against Portland as well.
Duncan will be considered day-to-day going forward. He leads the Spurs in scoring (20.7 points per game), rebounding (10.7 per game) and blocks (1.87 per game).
Meanwhile, one player who ought to see his playing time increase with Duncan out is battling an injury as well. Fabricio Oberto suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left thumb against the Mavericks. He will be fitted for a splint and is expected to be available tonight against the Trail Blazers.
Sorry but I'ed
I'll assume it's tendenosis and not tendinitis. Tendinitis would be good news .... but McDonald probably just made a mistake, per usual.
So is this serious or not?
Damn, a lot of injuries hitting us.
Too bad for Oberto, he played great yesterday.
About TD I'm happy it's anything on the knee but I hope he can be back soon and not in 6-8 weeks
And day-to-day is nothing to me. In 2000 TD was also day to day and we all know what happened. I know this isn't the same but..

Ugh.
But yeah, let's hope this is actual day-to-day and Duncan will play once he can manage the pain and regain some strength.
