The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have re-signed forward Tim Duncan. Per club policy terms of the agreement were not announced.
The 27-year-old Duncan has spent his entire six-year career with the Spurs after being selected by San Antonio with the number one pick in the 1997 NBA Draft.
“We are thrilled that Tim Duncan has decided to sign a long-term contract with the San Antonio Spurs,” said Spurs General Manager R.C. Buford. “Tim’s impact has been so great that it is impossible to explain what he has meant to the franchise and to the community of San Antonio.”
During his six seasons in San Antonio, Duncan has led the Spurs to a pair of NBA Championships. He was named the NBA Finals MVP in both 1999 and 2003.
Duncan has been named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player each of the last two seasons, becoming the first player since Michael Jordan (1991 and 1992) to earn back-to-back MVP awards. In addition, he has been named to the All-NBA First Team all six seasons and has earned All-Defensive First Team honors each of the last five seasons.
During the 2002-03 season Duncan averaged 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.93 blocks in 81 games. He has career averages of 22.9 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.50 blocks in 451 regular season games.
