San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan was noncommittal about his NBA future after his team was eliminated from the playoffs in a 113–99 Game 6 loss to the Thunder on Thursday.
“I’ll get to that after I get out of here and figure life out,” he said via Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News.
The 40-year-old struggled in the playoffs this season, averaging the lowest minutes of his career (20.4) and scoring just 4.4 points per game. However, he finished off the series with a strong performance, scoring 19 points and grabbing five rebounds in 33 minutes.
Duncan averaged 8.6 points and 7.3 rebounds in his 19th season with the Spurs, helping the team to a franchise-record 67 wins in the regular season.
