Tim Duncan will miss his fourth straight game due to knee soreness on Monday.

Gregg Popovich said Wednesday that Duncan underwent an MRI on his right knee, and that he was in the process of rehabilitating it. 

Duncan is averaging just 8.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season but he remains a key part of the Spurs' defense.

The Spurs don't have a publicly available timeline for when Duncan will return.

Michael Finley and Tony Parker were the first investors on Nate Parker's film The Birth of a Nation, which won both the Dramatic Jury and Dramatic Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday.

The film, which is about Nat Turner's 19th century slave uprising, secured a record-breaking $17.5 million rights deal with Fox Searchlight.

The film had a $10 million budget.

Finley also helped finance The Butler.

The San Antonio Spurs have re-assigned Ray McCallum to the Austin Spurs, the team’s NBA D-League affiliate.

The assignment is the 210th of the 2015-16 campaign and McCallum is one of 57 NBA players to have been assigned to the NBA D-League this season.

McCallum is averaging 17.1 points, 4.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 37.7 minutes in seven total appearances with the Austin Spurs this season.

LaMarcus Aldridge deleted his Twitter and Instagram accounts following the San Antonio Spurs' loss this week to the Golden State Warriors.

“I just wanted to lock in,” Aldridge said Wednesday after both he and his team bounced back with a 130-99 victory over Houston. “It had nothing to do with that game.” 

Aldridge watched the tape from Golden State and saw a team he didn’t recognize.

“That wasn’t us,” Aldridge said.

Aldridge received criticism on social media for his performance in the Warriors' game.

“It’s a new adventure for me (joining the Spurs),” Aldridge said. “I’ve never been on a top 2 team in the West. I just wanted to lock in.”

Gregg Popovich has been named head coach of the Western Conference All-Star team.

Because Steve Kerr coached the team last season, the San Antonio Spurs get the honor with the second best record.

Luke Walton led the Warriors to a 39-4 record in Kerr's absence.

Gregg Popovich alluded to the Cleveland Cavaliers' decision to fire David Blatt after the San Antonio Spurs lost to the Golden State Warriors 120-90.

The Warriors blew out the Cavaliers last week by 34 points and their general manager, David Griffin, talked about how the mood in their locker room after games was poor and disconnected. The Cavaliers largely decided to fire Blatt upon that issue.

"I'm just glad my general manager wasn't in the locker room because it might have gotten me fired," said Popovich.

Kevin Durant spoke about the differences between the Oklahoma City Thunder offense and the ball movement of the San Antonio Spurs.

"Look, we're not the San Antonio Spurs. We're not going to make 30 passes in a possession. We're not that," said Durant. "Of course people want us to be that. That's great basketball, don't get me wrong, but we're not that. We've got guys that can score. we've got two guys on this team that can get a bucket. There's going to be times we gotta ISO. There's going to be times we gotta be aggressive to look for our shot or make a play.

"But basketball is simple, when you got a guy that can get into the paint, that's what San Antonio wants to do, but they've got guys, multiple guys that'll pass, pass, dribble, get to the paint. But we've got guys, Russell, myself, Dion, Cameron Payne, we can get into the paint, kick out or dump down for a layup. That's ultimately what you want, get the defense off balance, drive, kick, make the right play. Simple basketball, but we just don't make five or six passes before we do it sometimes. And that's not a knock against us I don't think. We've got dynamic guys that can play and do different things on the floor, I think that's to your advantage."

Tim Duncan has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors due to knee soreness.

Duncan has sat out of seven games this season.

The Warriors and Spurs have the two best records in the NBA and this will be their first meeting of the season.

The San Antonio Spurs play the Golden State Warriors for the first time this season in a highly anticipated game between the two best teams in the NBA.

The Spurs have a +15.4 Efficiency Differential compared to +12.1 for the Warriors.

“I know them pretty well,” Steve Kerr said. “It’s remarkable to me that I’m 50 years old and have been retired for 13 years, and they have three guys and a coach who are still on that team.

“It makes no sense. The continuity and the program they’ve built is amazing.”

The Spurs have won five titles between 1999 and 2014.

“That’s why they’re legends or why they’re going to be legends when they’re done,” Stephen Curry said. “Obviously, those three guys and Coach Popovich are the main foundation of that, but they’ve been able to add pieces as they’ve gone through their careers and stay at a high level. It’s a lot about the tone and atmosphere and expectations that they set.

“When you wear a Spurs uniform, you better be ready to elevate your game to their level. That’s the most impressive thing. … They’re the standard.”
