Tobias Harris Set to Miss 11th Straight Game
San Antonio Spurs forward Tobias Harris (calf) is out for Monday's road game against Phoenix, Suns beat reporter Duane Rankin reports. The 34-year-old strained his left calf in training camp and has yet to make his Spurs debut, missing all 10 games so far. San Antonio hasn't felt the loss, carrying an eight-game winning streak into Monday. Harris averaged 13.3 points and 5.1 rebounds across 63 starts for Detroit last season, but Mitch Johnson's three-guard starting unit points him toward a bench role once healthy. Until then, Julian Champagnie remains the top frontcourt beneficiary after posting 14 points and four triples against Portland on Saturday.

Victor Wembanyama Posts Massive Line In OT Win Over Jazz
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama scored 36 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the Spurs outlasted the Jazz in overtime on Wednesday night. Wembanyama is averaging 25.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 3.8 blocks per game this season while shooting 48 percent from the field. The Spurs forward added two steals and two blocked shots in the win over the Jazz on Wednesday. Wembanyama is the best fantasy play out there because of his contributions on the defensive end, specifically with blocked shots. His 3.8 blocks per game can win you that category, while he still gives massive contributions in the scoring, rebounding, and assist categories.

Keldon Johnson Good to Go Friday
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (mouth) is available for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets after requiring stitches for a cut inside his right cheek. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year recorded 10 points, four rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 20 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 116-104 loss to Oklahoma City. With Tobias Harris (calf) sidelined, Johnson should retain a meaningful second-unit role after averaging 13.2 points and 5.4 rebounds in 23.3 minutes across all 82 games last season.

Keldon Johnson Questionable for Friday
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (mouth) is questionable for Friday's game against Houston in Austin, per Matt Guzman. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year needed three stitches for a deep cut inside his right cheek after Tuesday's 116-104 loss to Oklahoma City but still finished with 10 points, four rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 20 minutes. With Tobias Harris (calf) also out, Julian Champagnie could take on a larger wing role if Johnson sits, while Harrison Barnes and Carter Bryant may also pick up minutes.

Tobias Harris Out for Preseason with Calf Strain
San Antonio Spurs forward Tobias Harris (calf) will miss the preseason after suffering a left calf strain in training camp, according to ESPN's Michael C. Wright. Harris will be reevaluated after San Antonio's five-game exhibition schedule and is questionable for the Oct. 20 opener against Oklahoma City. The 34-year-old averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists across 63 starts for Detroit last season before signing a two-year, $31 million deal with San Antonio. His absence gives Julian Champagnie a chance to strengthen his case for a starting role, while Harrison Barnes and Carter Bryant could also see more preseason minutes.

Kelly Olynyk Works Out with Spurs
Free-agent forward/center Kelly Olynyk could return to the San Antonio Spurs as they weigh their 15th roster spot, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Olynyk has spent time in San Antonio and worked out with former Spurs teammates this offseason, but tax concerns could push any deal into the season. The Spurs sit about $2.15 million below the luxury-tax line, while a veteran-minimum deal would carry a cap hit around $2.45 million. The 35-year-old played a limited role with San Antonio last season, averaging 3.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 8.6 minutes. Even if he signs, Victor Wembanyama, Luke Kornet, Tarris Reed Jr., and Jayden Quaintance (knee) leave Olynyk off fantasy radars.

Carter Bryant Reflects on Rough NBA Welcome
San Antonio Spurs forward Carter Bryant opened up about a humbling rookie introduction during a recent appearance on the Road Trippin' Show. The 2025 No. 14 pick recalled getting tested early by Devin Vassell in a shooting workout, then struggling with Kelly Olynyk's footwork and veteran tricks in the post. Bryant still worked into San Antonio's rotation as a rookie, appearing in 71 regular-season games while averaging 4.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 11.5 minutes. He is not a redraft target yet, but his defensive profile and late-season minutes bump make him more interesting as a long-range stash if the Spurs expand his role.

Victor Wembanyama Says 100 Points Is Possible
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama said he believes he can score 100 points in a game during a quick-fire Q&A with French content creator Rookicks, per Eurohoops. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year also named Olympiacos forward Evan Fournier as the French player he would bring to San Antonio and left the door open to teaming with his brother Oscar, possibly first with the French national team. None of this changes Wembanyama's fantasy outlook, but it tracks with his rare ceiling after he averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 3.1 blocks across 64 games last season.

Spurs Release Two-Way Forward Emanuel Miller
The San Antonio Spurs waived forward Emanuel Miller from his two-way contract, per Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports, in a move tied to their two-way reshuffle after re-signing David Jones-Garcia. Miller most recently played on a two-way deal with Cleveland, averaging 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 33.2 minutes across six G League games with the Cleveland Charge. Before that, he spent two seasons on a two-way contract with Chicago and averaged 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across 34 games with Windy City. The 26-year-old has only 11 NBA appearances, all with the Bulls, so he remains a productive G League player rather than a fantasy option.

Jayden Quaintance to Miss Start of 2026-27 Season After Knee Surgery
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jayden Quaintance (knee) will miss the start of the 2026-27 season and isn't expected back until some point in 2027, ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reports. The No. 20 pick underwent successful surgery on his right knee Wednesday to clean up the meniscus, and the team announced no timetable for his return. None of this is a surprise. San Antonio drafted him knowing the procedure was coming after a torn ACL and meniscus at Arizona State in February 2025 left him with four games at Kentucky. Quaintance is off fantasy radars for next season. The developmental runway behind Victor Wembanyama and Luke Kornet now belongs to Tarris Reed Jr., the No. 26 pick, who has it to himself.

Harrison Ingram Becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Ingram is now an unrestricted free agent after the team withdrew his qualifying offer, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac. The former North Carolina standout spent his first two seasons on two-way deals, appearing in just 12 NBA games while producing at a high level for the G League's Austin Spurs. He averaged 16.6 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 steals in 34.0 minutes across 40 NBAGL outings last season, shooting 49.2 percent from the field but only 34.0 percent from three. San Antonio can still bring him back, though Ja'Kobi Gillespie, Maliq Brown, and Emanuel Miller currently occupy the team's three two-way slots. Ingram remains off the standard fantasy radar until he secures a standard NBA contract elsewhere.

Tobias Harris Inks Two-Year Deal With San Antonio
Free-agent forward Tobias Harris is signing a two-year, $31 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 15-year veteran fills a need on the Spurs' roster: a stretch four who can create plays off the dribble and rebound. Harris averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists on 46.9% shooting from the field and 36.8% from downtown last season as a starter in Detroit. He may not be a starter in San Antonio. The team found success with Julian Champagnie, who just signed a new deal himself, in the starting lineup in the second half of the season. Either way, expect a decrease in usage for Harris on what is a much deeper roster.

Jayden Quaintance May Miss Summer League Action
According to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News, San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jayden Quaintance (knee) is uncertain to participate in the Las Vegas Summer League. The 20th overall pick stated the organization is prioritizing his health and could hold him out of exhibition play. The 18-year-old was limited to four games at Kentucky last season due to complications from a previous knee injury. With the Spurs taking a cautious approach to his recovery, he isn't expected to make an immediate impact during his rookie campaign. Victor Wembanyama remains the undisputed engine of the frontcourt, while Luke Kornet and fellow rookie Tarris Reed Jr. are projected to handle the backup minutes inside.

Spurs Grab Maliq Brown at No. 44 Overall in the 2026 Draft
The San Antonio Spurs kept stockpiling defense in the second round, taking Duke forward Maliq Brown with the 44th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The 22-year-old led all of college basketball in defensive box plus-minus and was the ACC's top defender, averaging just 4.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.8 steals on 62.9 percent shooting off the bench. Brown is a switchable, havoc-creating defender whose offense barely registers: he hit 16.7 percent from three and 50.0 percent at the line. That profile has an NBA path as an energy big, just not on this roster soon, with Victor Wembanyama anchoring an elite frontcourt and San Antonio adding more size in the same draft. For fantasy, Brown is a name to file away and nothing more, barring a Nicolas Claxton-style defensive role down the line.

Jayden Quaintance Joins Spurs With the 20th Pick in NBA Draft
The San Antonio Spurs selected Kentucky forward Jayden Quaintance with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. A surprising selection by San Antonio as the standout rim protector has dealt with nagging complications and knee swelling after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in February 2025. During his first campaign as a Wildcat, he played in just four contests, averaging 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks on 57.1 percent shooting before he was shut down in December for the remainder of the campaign. Despite the setback, if Quaintance can get back on track, he could be a valuable frontcourt asset suiting up alongside Victor Wembanyama.
