    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Tim Duncan missed his first game of the season Tuesday night, sitting out the San Antonio Spurs' matchup with the Charlotte Bobcats due to a sprained right ankle.

    Duncan, who was injured at the end of Monday's practice, also has a hyperextended left knee. Coach Gregg Popovich said the All-Star also would miss Wednesday night's game at Washington.

    ``We'll let him rest and see what he feels like after the back-to-back,'' Popovich said.

    Duncan said treatment on the ankle Tuesday went well, but he was not sure when he would be able to play again.

    ``It actually feels pretty good, it felt a lot worse yesterday,'' he said. ``We've been treating it two to three times a day, and it's not as serious as I thought it was initially, so that's good.'' </div> Source
