Retired NBA star Tim Duncan surprised fans when he appeared at the Spurs vs. Warriors game over the weekend.
The first overall NBA draft pick of 1997 has made it clear that he’s a Spur for life.
After hanging up his jersey when he retired in 2016, the power forward has occasionally supported his team in person.
On Sunday, Duncan, 48, attended at the Spurs game with his longtime girlfriend, reality star Vanessa Macias, 44. The couple watched as Duncan’s old team fell short of the Warriors with a final score of 148-106.

The former Spurs star dressed casually for the game. He opted against wearing his old team’s jersey and instead donned a long-sleeve raglan-style shirt with camo-colored sleeves. A white undershirt could be seen poking out underneath.
His girlfriend, Macias, wore a San Antonio shirt and was in full glam with her hair styled in loose curls.
While the couple tried to stay low key during the game, fans couldn’t seem to get enough of the former NBA star’s appearance.
“Tim Duncan is my spirit animal,” one fan posted to X.
“Since when he start looking like Lenny Kravitz,” another person wrote.
“That man is living his best life,” another person commented.
Who is Tim Duncan’s girlfriend Vanessa Macias?
There’s no question that Duncan was a superstar in the NBA. He dedicated his entire career to the San Antonio Spurs, securing five championships and earning a coveted spot in the NBA Hall of Fame in 2020.
The five-time NBA champion has also been pretty successful at finding love.
Duncan was first married to Amy Sherrill, whom he met during his college years at Wake Forest University. The couple shared two children before getting divorced in 2013.
He’s since moved on with “Amazing Race” star Macias, who he’s been with for over a decade.
The reality star appeared on Season 12, which premiered in 2012.
According to bio on Fandom, Macias is a freelance writer from San Antonio, Texas. The reality star described herself as “smart, inpatient and super-awesome.”
“I am an amazing communicator. My years in TV and politics have made me great at dealing with difficult people,” Macias said in her bio.
Duncan and Macias have one child together, a daughter named Quill, whom they named after the Marvel character Peter Quill in the film Guardians of the Galaxy.
Macias announced their daughter’s birth on X on March 27, 2017, writing, “Thank you for the love and thoughts welcoming our little soul-changer, Quill.”
The Spurs star has been pretty private about his relationship with Macias, so it’s unclear when they first got together. However, it’s been reported that it was sometime in 2013 after he split from Sherrill.
Macias was present for the NBA star’s jersey retirement ceremony alongside his kids in 2016. She posted a heartfelt message about the special moment on X at the time.
“Such a wonderful celebration of a beautifully impacting man. He’s so easy to love, admire, and respect,” Macias wrote.
