San Antonio Spurs forward/center Tim Duncan is getting older and taking care to ensure that his knees stay strong.
Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News reports:
The brace Tim Duncan has been wearing on his left knee throughout the preseason will remain for the entire season.
Duncan scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds in his first preseason action Friday.
βIt feels pretty good,β he said. βI’ve gone through four or five braces this summer, trying to find the right one. That’s the one that feels good so far.β
Duncan will turn 35 years old on April 25, which according to the calendar in my head should be during the first round of the NBA playoffs.
