Tim Duncan Divorce On Hold For The Playoffs [Report]

The Tim Duncan divorce is on “pause” during the NBA playoffs.

It is widely speculated that Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs superstar, and his wife Amy are going their separate ways after 12 years of marriage. As The Inquisitr has previously reported, there is a divorce case pending in Bexar County (San Antonio) District Court with the parties identified as A.S.D. and T.T.D. rather than their full names. Among other things, the divorce papers state that the couple married in July, 2001, which is when Tim and Amy were married.The divorce papers mention two children with the initials S.I.D. and W.D.D. The Duncans have two children named Sydney and Draven.

Tim and Amy were college sweethearts at Wake Forest, and according to TMZ, Amy initiated divorce proceedings because the marriage has become “insupportable because of discord and conflict.”

In the meantime, Duncan through his lawyers wants the case postponed until after the NBA season ends: “TMZ has obtained legal docs filed in Bexar County, Texas, in which Duncan makes the case that his employment ‘is currently making extraordinary demands on him and hopefully will continue to make those demands for the next 30 or so days.’ Translation — he’s banking on a ring.”

Tim Duncan has a prenuptial agreement which — if deemed enforceable by a judge — may allow him to avoid being taken completely to the cleaners in the divorce.

The Spurs meet the Memphis Grizzlies in game three of the Western Conference finals tomorrow night.

Duncan has enjoyed a reputation for being unusually down to earth and low key and — at least to this point — not getting into the kind of predicaments that other pro athletes find themselves mixed up with.”Duncan, who is the only player in history to be named ALL NBA and ALL-Defensive Teams in each of his first 13 seasons, could pound his chest or demand his time in the spotlight, but he chooses to go about his business in anonymity, racking up championships and inching up the record books with each game … He’s the anti-superstar, a player who just wants to play and win and go home.”

Are you surprised that Tim Duncan reportedly is getting a divorce?
