Tim Duncan played 16 minutes in a win over the Clippers on Thursday, scoring nine points and five boards on 4-of-8 shooting. In an in-game interview, coach Gregg Popovich said that he would keep Duncan's minutes in the "mid-20s" during the season, but this game was over before the fourth quarter and the Spurs led from wire to wire. The Big Fundamental played 29.7 minutes per game before tonight, so his owners should expect his per-game averages to take a dip on top of the surprise DNPs.
