Dylan Harper, the No. 2 overall pick, is expected to miss several weeks due to a calf injury, as reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania. Harper left the Spurs’ recent game early and was seen on crutches afterward, signaling an extended absence. In his absence, Jordan McLaughlin, who logged a season-high 19 minutes off the bench, may see increased play until Harper or De’Aaron Fox (hamstring) are fit to return.

Dylan Harper’s injury status is in question after he left Sunday’s game against the Suns with a left calf injury. The rookie guard was later seen in a walking boot, departing the arena on crutches without putting weight on his left leg. With San Antonio’s next game on Wednesday against the Lakers, the team is hopeful Harper will recover quickly to minimize his absence from the court.

Dylan Harper exited Sunday’s game against the Suns with a left calf injury and did not return. The rookie scored 12 points and grabbed one rebound before being sidelined. With De’Aaron Fox still out due to a hamstring issue, Jordan McLaughlin could see increased playing time, though his fantasy appeal remains limited to deep leagues. Keep an eye on Harper’s status for any updates.

Rookie Dylan Harper showcased his versatility in the Spurs’ victory over the Nets, recording 20 points on 72.7% shooting, along with six rebounds, eight assists, and two steals. Recovering from a tough shooting night against the Pelicans, Harper’s efficient play and zero turnovers contrasted with starter Stephon Castle’s struggle with five turnovers. With De’Aaron Fox still sidelined, Harper’s strong performance enhances his value as a key contributor off the bench.

Dylan Harper is set to make his preseason debut for the Spurs against the Jazz this Friday, following surgery on his left thumb in early September. The rookie, selected second overall in June, has recovered ahead of schedule, surpassing the initial target of being ready by the regular season opener on October 22. With De’Aaron Fox possibly sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Harper could take advantage of increased opportunities, though he will be under a minutes restriction in his debut.
