Spurs' Diaw to miss at least 3 games with adductor injury

With six games left in the best regular season in franchise history, the San Antonio Spurs are hoping to get everyone as rested and healthy in the lead-up to the playoffs.

As such, they'll leave forward Boris Diaw at home to convalesce when they embark on a three-game road trip starting Tuesday in Utah. Diaw is dealing with a sore adductor muscle in his right thigh.

The 33-year-old has played in 75 of 76 games this season, tied with Patty Mills for the team lead. That may owe something to his lightened workload, as his 18.2-minute-per-game average equals the lowest of his 13-year career.

Diaw's made the most of those minutes, though, averaging 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists, while shooting 52.8 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from 3-point range as part of the Spurs' league-best reserve corps.
