Duncan, who had just returned to the lineup following a four-game absence with a sore left knee, limped off the court in the second quarter after sustaining a sprained right ankle and a sprained left knee.

The likely future Hall of Famer was injured while battling with Washington's Martell Webster for a rebound.

The Wizards got 21 points and nine assists from John Wall but still dropped their fourth straight contest.
