The NBA.com Boxscore Has The Silliest (And Best) Explanation For Why Tim Duncan Didn’t Play Tonight

The NBA.com Boxscore Has The Silliest (And Best) Explanation For Why Tim Duncan Didn't Play TonightTim Duncan wasn't hurt tonight. He merely took a day off from the daunting post-lockout grind to rest his bones, and his Spurs beat the Sixers anyway, 93-76. The ESPN.com boxscore says "DNP-REST." The NBA's, pictured above, wasn't so politically correct. "DND-OLD." Poor, poor, old Tim Duncan. He turns 36 in a month.

Update (midnight): Appears this is Pop's way of joking with his geezers. Big Shot Rob Horry got a "DNP-Old Age" back in 2007. And he had a legitimate injury that game, too.
