Tim Duncan said after San Antonio's 105-99 win over Utah on Friday night that his troublesome right knee is getting better.

"I'm getting my right leg back," said Duncan. "I think it's basically gone. It was good to be out there without a brace on and try to play well."

Duncan had 14 points and 9 rebounds in the victory.
