Gregg Popovich said in Sports Blogs:

I kept him out because of the hamstring ... He hasn't been able to practice on it since the Dallas game [on Wednesday] and it tightened up on him again. I thought it was best to be conservative and not have that hamstring get worse and lose him for a longer period. It was a close call, but I would do the same thing again and sit him with that tight hamstring for sure.
