http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2013/10/30/duncan-suffers-chest-contusion-against-memphis/SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan will miss the remainder of Wednesday’s season opener against Memphis with a chest contusion, the Spurs announced. No further timeline was provided.
Duncan, 37, was injured in a collision on Tony Allen’s drive to the rim early in the third quarter. He finished with three points, six rebounds and two assists in the opener of his 17th NBA season.
Hopefully its not too serious.

Edit that post OP.
He's taken games off before, so I have confidence the Spurs can win without him for a little. Hope it's no more than a couple games though.

I'm no doctor, but I don't see how the injury could be that bad. He got a nice elbow from Allen and it looked like it hurt but I don't see why he should miss any time because of it. Anyway, that's my diagnosis.

He traveled to LA and he's listed as day to day.

I read that he will probably miss the Laker game tonight but play tomorrow in Portland. No biggie since Pop doesn't like to play him in back-to-backs anyway.

Any word on if he can play tonight vs. Portland?
Definitely limited minutes if he does, but any Duncan is solid.
