Duncan (knee) will be out for Tuesday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
This would be the eighth consecutive missed game for Duncan, who is dealing with soreness in his right knee. It is likely that the Spurs are keeping Duncan out until after the All Star break, conservatively, to keep the veteran big man's health in check for a later post season run. David West will most likely continue to fill Duncan's spot until he returns.
