Duncan sprains right ankle, bruises knee; will have MRI Monday
SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan bruised his right knee and sprained his right ankle Sunday in the second quarter of their game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The team said all of Duncan's ligaments appeared stable but that he would have an MRI on Monday. He was not to return to Sunday's game and the team said he would miss some playing time.
Duncan got caught up with Portland's James Jones and fell to the floor near the Spurs' basket with 7:40 left in the half. He was clutching his knee and had to be helped off the floor by two of his teammates.
Hopefully, he's fine long-term. In fact, it could have been a lot worse, but we'll know more on Monday. He'll probably miss a week or two. In case you were wondering, it's not the same knee that he had surgery on in 2000.
