Duncan injured the ankle 4:13 into the second quarter when he landed awkwardly on Ekpe Udoh’s foot after completing a layup, and he had to be helped off the floor.

X-rays were negative on Duncan’s ankle, and the initial prognosis — as reported on the team’s TV broadcast — calls for about two weeks on the shelf.

“He’ll obviously be out a while,” Popovich said, adding it is uncertain if Duncan will make the three-game road trip to Denver, Portland and Memphis.

Looks like he's going to be out for basically the rest of the season. Our lead atop the west is pretty big (7 games) so i'm really not worried. Duncan will be nice and rested for the first round of the playoffs.

Soo will Splitter be starting instead of him ?

Possibly. But i'm guessing Blair will move back into the starting lineup now that he's recovered from that wrist injury.

On ESPN.com it says TD won't know until the end of the week. He had an MRI which showed no structural damage, so hopefully if he just rests it he'll be fine for the playoffs. It actually might be a blessing in disguise; TD gets rest, Splitter gets a chance to prove himself.

I doubt we lose our lead -- 7 games with 12 to play. We'll be fine.

Man that sucks. I hope you guys keeping playing great, even without him. You guys have the #1 seed on lock.
