A reporter from the San Antonio Express uncovered a divorce case that points to the marriage of Spurs power forward Tim Duncan and his wife, Amy.
The divorce case is underway in Bexar County, Texas District Court and bears only the initials of the couple, but has several clues that line up with the couples' details.
Duncan told TMZ that he is too busy for a divorce -- the San Antonio Spurs have won games one and two of the Western Conference Series and are set to play game three Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
TMZ reports that Duncan's wife filed for divorce in March, and that Duncan has put the divorce on hold until the Spurs win the NBA championship or get knocked out.
The divorce has not yet been confirmed outside of TMZ. The documents obtained by the Express show that the couple married on or near July 21, 2001, which is the date the Duncans tied the knot. It also mentions two children with initials and birth dates that line up with the couple's two children, Sydney and Draven.
The lawyer assumedly working for Tim Duncan did not comment on the case, but did ask the court to "give T.T.D. 30 days following the first work day following the San Antonio Spurs' last playoff game (whenever that might be) to respond to the outstanding discovery requests."
Further confirmation on whether the case is that of the Duncans and their hearing dates have not yet been successful.

Kendall Jenner was insulted over Twitter earlier this week by Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.
But she had not yet responded -- until now.
Jenner sent out a tweet wishing her life was easier, which opened her up to a barrage of Twitter backlash from Cobain and the Twitter hivemind. Critics called her "self-involved" and "ungrateful."
Jenner has been in the limelight for some time from her reality-TV stardom in the "Kardashians" franchise and subsequent modeling career. Jenner is a 17-year-old whose 17-year-old problems are on display for the world.
The tweet got to Cobain in particular, who said "i'd rather be a scumbag than a [expletive] idiot." Cobain further left a stream of what she said Jenner's problems rank below: "oh ya, not to mention, CANCER, famine, poverty, draught, disease, natural disasters, Death."
Jenner came back with a response today, asking why Cobain, 20, is in a place to judge her.
"I am aware that I am very privileged and blessed, and i'm thankful for that everyday, i know there are greater problems in the world," Jenner tweeted.
"I pray for those people every night and give back as much as i can. so who are u to judge me?"
She ended the feud for now, leaving Cobain with "an individual's feelings are relative to their environment. you don't know me, you don't even know what I was referring to."
Cobain has not yet responded.
Ellen Henry spotted an unusual object floating in the sky while taking pictures of a historical barn at the Edgemoor property in Santee, Calif.
"It was clear and certainly not a bug," Henry told local ABC TV affiliate News 10.
Henry claims what she saw was not from this world and that she was scared to have witnessed such an anomaly.
According to Elaine Murphy, the president of the Santee Historical Society, paranormal things happen all the time at the historical bar turned museum.
"We think someone's come into the barn and we get up to look, and no one is there," she said.
A group of people who oversee the museum told News 10 that the barn used to be part of a poor farm and hospital grounds and that multiple ghost sightings have been reported at the museum.
Henry, who uploaded a video of her findings on YouTube, wrote in the description that even though "paranormal activities" take place around the museum all the time, this was "the first time a UFO has made a visit."

Police responded to a complaint that Bynes was smoking pot and rolling a joint in the lobby of an apartment building on West 47th Street Thursday night. She apparently heaved a bong out the window -- hence the endangerment and tampering chargers -- in an attempt to fool the cops.
Bynes was taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where she was evaluated for mental health problems, before spending the night at the police station.
Bynes told a judge friday morning the bong was "just a vase" and denies any wrongdoing.
She's due back in court on July 9.
Here's Bynes as she was escorted from the courthouse into a taxi Friday morning:

A Bronx teacher fired after a student complained about her use of a racial slur says the whole thing is just a ridiculous case of meaning lost -- literally -- in translation.
Petrona Smith, 65, was a non-tenured teacher at the bilingual school PS 211 until March 2012, when she was fired after a student complained of being called "negro" and "a failure."
But Smith, who is black and a native of the West Indies, said the student misunderstood her meaning: she was using the word "negro," the word for the color black in Spanish, not an outmoded reference to an person of African descent.
In court papers, Smith said she was teaching students how to say different colors, and even explained that the a black person in Spanish is called "moreno," not "negro." She also said she asked students who had failed a test to move to the back of the class, but had never called them failures.
Smith detailed the abuse she claims she often suffered at the hands of her students, who, according to her claims filed in court, called her "f***ing monkey," "cockroach" and "n****r." Smith said she had always risen above their insults.
The investigation leading to her termination relied on the word of four 7th-grade students, even though one of the student's parents admitted he had lied.
Smith, who has been unable to to find work since she was fired, has sued for wrongful termination. The school district has so far refused to comment on the case.

A magnitude 8.2 earthquake rocked Russia's Far East Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake's epicenter was located in the Sea of Okhotsk, just west of the Kamchatka Peninsula. According to CNN, the region is in the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of high volcanic and seismic activity that stretches from New Zealand to South America.
The tremor lasted for five minutes and many people ran into the streets as the city trembled. No tsunami warnings have been issued thus far.

Michael Clarke Duncan died in September 2012, nearly two months after having a heart attack, according to the NY Daily News.
Duncan, known for his Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominated role in "The Green Mile," was 54 when he died. Doctors said he never fully recovered from the heart attack.
A family friend was taking flowers to Duncan's grave when she came upon his headstone, which was spray-painted with racist graffiti.
Police are now investigating the vandalism as a hate crime, according to the Chicago Defender.
A picture of a cartoon black face was attached to the center of his headstone -- an offensive black stereotype known as a Sambo figure.
The family notified the cemetery, which removed the figure immediately. The Los Angeles Police Department determined that the defacement could be considered a hate crime and has begun an investigation.

In an on-air interview with a Seattle Fox station, it appeared that actor Morgan Freeman fell asleep.
But Freeman, 75, joked that he wasn't actually asleep -- only updating his Facebook page.
"Regarding my recent interview, I wasn't actually sleeping," he wrote on Facebook. "I'm a beta tester for Google Eyelids and I was merely taking the opportunity to update my Facebook page."
His Facebook fans got a good laugh, and he has gotten nearly 20,000 likes on the post. The station joked about it too, saying that anchor Bill Wixey's voice could have been the cause.
"We all know Bill's voice can lull you into sleep," wrote Brett Cihon, a producer for the show.
Freeman was on the show to promote his new film, "Now You See Me," which releases in theaters May 31.

Leonard Marsh, co-founder of the famous Snapple beverage brand, died Tuesday at the age of 80.
The Canadian Press reports Marsh died at his home in Manhasset, N.Y.
Marsh, a former window washer, launched Snapple (originally Unadulterated Food Products) with his brother-in-law Hyman Golden and his childhood friend Arnold Greenberg in New York in 1972.
The trio changed the name to Snapple in 1980 causing the brand's popularity to suffer as consumers wanted healthier drinking options. Snapple was later purchased by Quaker Oats Co. for $1.7 billion in 1994.
Marsh stayed with the company for a few years as the executive vice-president. He was the last surviving Snapple founder.
Snapple is now owned by The Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. of Plano, Texas.
