Spurs rest Big 3 vs. Timberwolves
The Big Three are getting the night off.
The San Antonio Spurs will hold out Manu Ginobili (rest), Tim Duncan (rest), and Tony Parker (toe) for Tuesday's clash with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team announced.
All three players suited up for Monday's 99-91 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Duncan logged the most minutes with 29, while Parker played 28 (before leaving the game due to a toe injury), and Ginobili logged 20.
The ancient trio combined for 15 points on 25 field-goal attempts.
In addition to their three franchise pillars, the Spurs will also be without head coach Gregg Popovich, who's tending to a family issue. Lead assistant Ettore Messina is holding the clipboard for the time being.
The Spurs (53-10) sit 3.5 games back of the Golden State Warriors for top spot in the West.
