Duncan (rest) will sit out Sunday's game against the Warriors, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

Analysis:

Duncan will sit Sunday after arguably his strongest game of the season on Friday against the Nuggets, in which he posted 21 points and seven rebounds. As the Spurs get ready for the postseason, it is not surprising to see head coach Greg Popovich rest his veteran players, even in a high-caliber game such as the one on Sunday, which could spell the end of the Warrior's regular season wins record. David West will get the start, with Boban Marjanovic also in line to pick up a few more minutes. Duncan's next chance to return will be against the Thunder on Tuesday.
