Spurs coach Gregg Popovich walked into Thursday morning's shootaround and told Malik Rose to put on a black jersey with the rest of the starters. Then he told Tim Duncan to wear gray.
"I'm not playing," Duncan said. "I can't come off the bench. I'm a starter."
As the rest of the Spurs howled, Duncan smiled and ended his Allen Iverson standoff by turning his practice jersey inside-out instead of taking it off.
Happy enough to be in uniform, Duncan took his seat on the bench Thursday night. When he did return to the court, he made up for the six minutes he missed — as well as the previous week — scoring 22 points to lead the Spurs to a rousing 106-86 victory over Minnesota in front of a sellout crowd at the SBC Center.
