Tim Duncan and Tony Parker Miss Game 3 Warmups Stuck in Traffic

The San Antonio Spurs are looking to add another tally into the win column in Tuesday night's game against the Miami Heat, but Tim Duncan and Tony Parker had a bit of a delay getting to the arena.

Apparently the two spent a bit of time in traffic, long enough to put their status for the start of the game in doubt.

To make matters worse, the San Antonio stars had to deal with another event going on just around the corner, contributing even more to the traffic congestion.

Parker and Duncan eventually did make it to the arena with time to spare before tip-off. They may not have made the pre-game warmup, but they were in the building rotating through layup lines just a few minutes before the game got underway.

They seemed to be well focused in the few minutes they had to get loose, and hopefully they won't have any ill effects as a result of their late arrival.
