EDGE Analysis

A sore knee had sidelined Duncan since Jan. 22. In his return to the starting five, Duncan was a non-factor offensively but suffered no health setbacks and achieved his highest block total since Dec. 25. Along with teammates Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, Duncan will use the All-Star break to recuperate from nagging injuries.
