San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovitch sent stars Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and role player Danny Green, on a commercial flight home instead of playing them in a nationally televised game against the Miami Heat last night so they could rest ahead of the Spurs Saturday home game against league leading Memphis.

NBA commissioner David Stern issued a statement before the game apologizing to fans and saying, "this was an unacceptable decision by the San Antonio Spurs and substantial sanctions will be forthcoming."

Is this fair to the Spurs and Coach Popovitch who is trying to protect his players and prepare for season.
