Duncan, Parker doubtful


Duncan, Parker doubtful It appears likely the Spurs will face the Dallas Mavericks at the AT&T Center tonight without All-Stars Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.

Neither player participated in the Spurs' light Tuesday afternoon practice session and were officially listed as doubtful for tonight's game.

Both are nursing left ankle injuries suffered in last Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City.

Parker sprained his left ankle during the second quarter and left the court immediately. X-rays showed no structural damage and the Spurs officially termed the injury a mild sprain, but he has not played since.

Duncan jammed his left ankle at some point in the same game but played 35 minutes and 27 seconds the next night in Portland. He developed discomfort during a Sunday practice session and was a pregame scratch before Monday's home game against the Toronto Raptors.

Five on ballot: Five Spurs are on the official ballot for fan voting for the 2010 All-Star Game that was unveiled in ceremonies in Dallas, the host city.

Duncan, voted to the starting lineup every year but his rookie season, is on the Western Conference ballot at forward, along with new teammate Richard Jefferson.

Parker, an All-Star in three of his seasons, and Manu Ginobili, a 2006 All-Star, are among the 24 guards on the ballot.

Antonio McDyess, an All-Star in 2001 with the Denver Nuggets, is one of 12 Western Conference centers on the ballot.

Posterizing Bargnani: Matt Bonner was still being asked about his drive from the foul line for an almost-double-clutch power dunk in the face of Raptors center Andrea Bargnani in the first half of Monday's victory over the Raptors.

"I'm really happy that was caught on film," said Bonner, whose game is predicated on his perimeter shooting rather than athleticism. "I have something to show my grandkids someday."

Unfortunately, the look of astonishment on the face of Duncan, inactive and seated behind the Spurs' bench, was not caught on tape.
