Tim Duncan (knee) is listed as doubtful to play again on Wednesday. Duncan will rest his knee and take plenty of time off prior to the All-Star break. As has been the case with Duncan sidelined, Boris Diaw is expected to draw the start.

As expected, Tim Duncan will not play on Monday due to his lingering knee soreness. The Spurs have the best record in the league, keep winning despite the absence of Duncan and Manu Ginobili, and it's becoming hard to imagine Gregg Popovich playing either guy all that much before April.

Tim Duncan (knee) and Manu Ginobili (hamstring) are both listed as doubtful to play once again on Monday. Neither player is a surprise. Gregg Popovich is thinking about keeping each player out until after the All-Star break, and the Spurs will not let either guy return until he shows he's 100 percent healthy. Without Duncan and Ginobili, Tony Parker should keep delivering for fantasy owners while guys like Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green pick up the slack for Ginobili.

Tim Duncan (knee) and Manu Ginobili (hamstring) will not play against the Nets on Sunday. This shouldn't come as a surprise and there's really no way Gregg Popovich will put his aged veterans on the court at less than 100 percent in the regular season. Tiago Splitter should continue his run as a must-start guy while Danny Green has also been ripping it up from downtown. Manu and Duncan owners will probably want to consider benching them for the upcoming week.

Tim Duncan (knee) and Manu Ginobili (hamstring) are both considered doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Nets. When asked if his key veterans might just be rested through the All-Star break, Gregg Popovich replies, "It's a thought." Fantasy owners have no choice but to prepare alternatives for Manu and Timmy on Sunday, while considering them questionable to return Monday and/or Wednesday.

Tim Duncan (knee) and Manu Ginobili (hamstring) are both out for Friday's game against the Pistons. Coach Gregg Popovich says Duncan is getting "close." But with a back-to-back road set looming on Sunday/Monday, we wouldn't be surprised to see him held out a little longer. Note that after tonight, the Spurs have just three more games until the All-Star break.

Tim Duncan (knee) is considered doubtful to play again on Friday. Duncan didn't really have much of a chance to play on Friday and the Spurs will treat him with kid gloves until he's 100 percent healthy. Likely without Duncan and Manu Ginobili (hamstring, doubtful), the Spurs will be led by Tony Parker and get ample help from guys like Boris Diaw, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard.

Tim Duncan (knee, ankle) and Manu Ginobili (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. No surprise here on either player as both were considered doubtful coming in. Without Duncan, Tiago Splitter should continue rolling along to the tune of around 30 minutes per game, while Boris Diaw continues to start for Duncan. Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard will pick up most of Ginobili's slack, with Gary Neal and Stephen Jackson chipping in.

Tim Duncan (knee, ankle) is traveling with the Spurs as their upcoming nine-game road trip kicks off Wednesday. Duncan officially remains day-to-day with knee/ankle sprains and beat writers are tentatively not expecting him to play Wednesday. But the fact that he's traveling with the team confirms that his injuries are not serious. The bigger concern for owners is the likelihood that coach Gregg Popovich will handle Duncan with even more kid gloves than usual down the stretch. Last April, Timmy missed five of 16 games and played just 26.4 minutes a night.

Tim Duncan (knee, ankle) is officially day-to-day, but beat writer Jeff McDonald would be "shocked" if Duncan plays on Wednesday. We'll second that sentiment since the Spurs are bound to play it safe with Duncan, especially since he had just returned from a sore left knee. Tiago Splitter continues to be an excellent fantasy play in Duncan's absence.
