Duncan (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic.

Analysis:

Duncan will miss his fourth straight game due to soreness in his right knee. The timetable for Duncan's return remains unclear, but the Spurs don't appear to be in any rush to get the 39-year-old back on the court, as they don't want to risk the injury becoming more serious. The Spurs will likely keep David West in the starting lineup as long as Duncan remains sidelined.
