Tim Duncan is returning to the small screen later this month in a new series of H-E-B commercials featuring an elite group of Spurs “legends.”

In the first commercial, the newly retired power forward is invited to a "secret retirement club" with former players David Robinson, George Gervin, Bruce Bowen and Sean Elliott — all lounging around in black slippers and silver robes. They are surrounded by tubs of the Texas grocer's "Creamy Creations" brand of ice cream, the Coyote grilling up meat, a basketball ice sculpture and, of course, a violinist.

The Texas grocer shared set photos from the upcoming commercial in a tweet Wednesday. H-E-B spokeswoman Dya Campos said the spot, along with about six others featuring current Spurs players, will air sometime in late October when the season begins. H-E-B’s series of Spurs commercials began in 2004 with Duncan but later expanded to include other players.

The Spurs will face off against the Golden State Warriors in their season opener Oct. 25 in Oakland.
