SAN ANTONIO – Tim Duncan’s former teammates are determined to do their part to ensure everybody is in a great mood for the start of the legend’s jersey retirement ceremony after Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
“It’s kind of like senior night,” Spurs guard Danny Green said. “You don’t want your seniors going home losing their last game at home.”
While Green stopped short of labeling it a must-win game, he made it clear it’s no stretch to say the Spurs want to “win one for Timmy.”
“We don’t want to come in and not win the game for Timmy or not have him be retired on a good night,” Green said Saturday after practice.
