Spurs rest forward Tim Duncan against Thunder

OKLAHOMA CITY — Forward Tim Duncan was not in uniform for San Antonio’s game Wednesday night at Oklahoma City, resting in the second of back-to-back games for the Spurs.

The 11-time All-Star played 40 minutes a night earlier in the Spurs’ 105-85 home win against the Los Angeles Lakers. San Antonio has another back-to-back set Friday at Charlotte and Saturday at Memphis during a four-game trip.

Duncan was on the Spurs’ active list but wore a dress shirt and jeans with a grey sport coat.

He was replaced in the starting lineup by rookie DeJuan Blair.
