Spurs coach Gregg Popovich opted not to start forward Tim Duncan on Sunday night against the Raptors.

Duncan sat out the entire first quarter, but ended up contributing 21 points and 12 rebounds off the bench in San Antonio's loss.

"He's played a lot of minutes," Popovich said. "He played more than we wanted last night so we just wanted to have him in the fourth quarter rather than the first. Not too much happens in the first quarter of NBA games."
