Duncan had no points and grabbed three rebounds across 12 minutes during the Spurs' 111-97 loss to the Thunder in Sunday's Game 4.
Duncan didn't attempt a single shot and committed four fouls in his limited minutes, which resulted in him failing to score for the first time in 249 career playoff games. Given how extensively the Thunder opted to pair Steven Adams and Enes Kanter together in Game 4, it was somewhat surprising that Duncan was barely used. Coach Gregg Popovich has instead been calling David West's number during crunch time, and Duncan has been glued to the bench over the last two contests, seeing a combined 26 minutes.
