San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan was back on the practice court Monday after what looked to be a serious injury suffered Sunday versus Utah.  So serious that Duncan limped out of the gym leaning on the shoulder of teammate Sean Marks.

"It was my feeble attempt to steal the spotlight from Sean Elliott," Duncan deadpanned. "Everybody was saying, 'Sean's retiring, his jersey is in the rafters, he's a great guy ...' I honestly felt left out.

"So I felt at some point, I should do something to refocus ... on me."

As far as his status for tonight, Duncan is not sure whether he will play.

"I'm a lot better than I thought I would be this morning," Duncan said. "This is something I can deal with. I'm actually happy it is what it is."
