Duncan (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Duncan's third straight miss due to soreness in his right knee. When asked if the injury was starting to become a concern, head coach Greg Popovich said "No". David West will get the start in Duncan's place. It appears that the Spurs are erring on the side of caution when it comes to Duncan's injury in order to ensure he'll be available later in the season, which has been a recurring trend through the first third of the season. His next chance to play will be on Saturday against the Rockets.
