Tim Duncan to miss 8th straight game, won't play against Miami Heat

After yesterday's injury report had upgraded Tim Duncan to questionable, he will sit for his eighth straight game with right knee soreness.

In the future Hall-of-Famer's absence, LaMarcus Aldridge has developed within San Antonio's hardwood culture, improving offensively in the low-post, and earning Western Conference Player of the Week honors.

Additional Matt Bonner (left calf strain) and Manu Ginobili (surgery recovery) will not play against Miami tonight.
