SAN ANTONIO -- The Spurs put Tim Duncan and Stephen Jackson on the injured list Wednesday before their regular-season finale against the Mavericks.
The star forward and starting pointing guard were expected to return in time for the playoffs. Top-seeded San Antonio opens its first-round series at home against Phoenix this weekend.
The team said Duncan had a sore left knee and Jackson sprained his left thumb. The team activated center Mengke Bateer.
Duncan, last year's most valuable player, averaged 23.3 points and 12.9 rebounds in 81 games this season. Jackson, who played 80 games, averaged 11.8 points and 3.6 rebounds. |
