Tim Duncan: Will play Wednesday versus Magic

Duncan (knee) will play Wednesday against the Magic.

Analysis:

Duncan has missed the last nine games with the sore knee, and while there was speculation that he might wait until after the All-Star break to return, the veteran will be back on the court Wednesday. Though he'll likely be utilized in his usual starting role at center, Duncan's minutes could still be held to the 20-to-25 range, making him a less-than-ideal DFS play. In any event, Duncan's return should result in lesser roles for David West, Boris Diaw, and Boban Marjanovic.
