De'Aaron Fox Available Versus Rockets
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets in Austin. Fox emerged from Tuesday's 116-104 season-opening loss to Oklahoma City with a right wrist sprain but went through Friday's shootaround before being cleared. The 28-year-old opened the season with 14 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and one steal on 6-for-9 shooting across 32 minutes. With San Antonio visiting Dallas on Saturday to finish a back-to-back, Fox's workload and wrist will be worth monitoring before the second leg.

De'Aaron Fox Participates in Friday's Morning Shootaround
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (wrist) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Houston Rockets with a right-wrist sprain. However, Fox participated in shooting drills during Friday's morning shootaround, according to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News. The two-time All-Star logged 32 minutes in Tuesday's season opener, finishing with 14 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and one steal while shooting 6-for-9 from the field. If Fox can't suit up Friday, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle could take on more playmaking responsibilities, while Julian Champagnie may be a candidate to enter the starting lineup.

De'Aaron Fox Iffy for Friday
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (wrist) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Houston due to a right wrist sprain. The two-time All-Star played 32 minutes in Tuesday's season opener, finishing with 14 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and one steal on 6-for-9 shooting. San Antonio visits Dallas on Saturday to complete a back-to-back, giving the Spurs another reason to be cautious with Fox. If he sits Friday, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle should take on more playmaking responsibility, while Julian Champagnie could move into the starting five.

Dylan Harper Stays Hot in Second Preseason Start
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper led the team in scoring for the second straight preseason game, finishing with 15 points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in Saturday's 102-98 loss to Phoenix. He shot 6-for-9 from the field and is now 11-for-16 through two starts. De'Aaron Fox (hip) sat out again, so San Antonio still hasn't unveiled its planned three-guard look with Harper and Stephon Castle. Harper averaged 11.8 points in 22.6 minutes as a rookie, mostly off the bench. A bigger role looks likely, though sharing the ball with Fox and Castle could keep his usage in check.

Dylan Harper Sharp in Preseason Opener Against Hawks
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper scored a team-high 16 points in Thursday's 123-116 preseason loss to the Atlanta Hawks, adding four rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 19 minutes. The 20-year-old shot 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-5 from three after averaging 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 22.6 minutes as a rookie. Harper also raised his production during San Antonio's playoff run, and Thursday's efficient showing only strengthens his case for a larger role. Even in a crowded backcourt, he should have a chance to push well past last season's modest workload.

Miles Barnstable Joins Spurs on Training Camp Deal
The San Antonio Spurs have signed guard Miles Barnstable to a training camp contract, according to Paul Garcia, bringing their camp roster to 20 players. The 6-foot-2 rookie went undrafted after averaging 14.6 points in 30.3 minutes during his lone season at Tulsa while shooting 40.6 percent from three and setting a program record with 103 triples. Barnstable also played for San Antonio in Summer League, finishing with 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting against Phoenix. With De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper already commanding backcourt minutes, Barnstable faces a steep path to an NBA role and carries no immediate fantasy appeal.

Stephon Castle Trains for Bigger Year
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle spent the offseason focused on shooting and conditioning work, trainer Olin Simplis told Mark Medina of R.org. Simplis praised Castle's defensive versatility and said the 21-year-old has worked on keeping his shot mechanics consistent through fatigue after a long playoff run. Castle averaged 16.7 points, 7.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals across 68 games last season, but he shot just 37.7 percent from the field and 30.0 percent from three in the Finals loss to New York. Better shooting would raise Castle's fantasy ceiling, though a healthy De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper's place in the backcourt could cut into some of Castle's on-ball work.

Jordan McLaughlin Returns to Spurs on One-Year Deal
San Antonio Spurs guard Jordan McLaughlin has agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million deal to return to the team, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The 30-year-old appeared in 44 games for San Antonio last season, averaging 2.0 points, 0.9 assists, and 0.7 rebounds in 6.4 minutes while shooting 42.5% from three-point range. McLaughlin gives the Spurs veteran point-guard insurance, but his fantasy value is thin behind De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. He would likely need multiple injuries ahead of him to see meaningful usage.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie Bounces Back With 19 Points in Spurs Loss
San Antonio Spurs guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie bounced back Monday, logging 19 points, six assists, two steals, and one rebound across 31 minutes in an 88-84 California Classic Summer League loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He shot 7-for-14 from the field and 5-for-9 from deep after struggling with his shot earlier in San Francisco. The No. 42 pick is on a two-way contract, so his rookie-season fantasy value likely depends on G League development and future injuries. Still, the threes, assists, and steals give him a useful stat profile to track in Las Vegas.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie Selected by Spurs in NBA Draft
The San Antonio Spurs selected Tennessee guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie with the 42nd overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft on Wednesday. Gillespie began his collegiate career at Belmont before transferring to Maryland and then Tennessee ahead of the 2025-26 season. The 22-year-old averaged 18.4 points, 5.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 steals in 34.6 minutes per game across 37 starts for the Volunteers. He set Tennessee's single-season program record for steals during the 2025-26 campaign.

Spurs Stay Committed to De'Aaron Fox as Their Starting Point Guard
San Antonio remains committed to De'Aaron Fox as its franchise point guard, even after a rough playoff series while he dealt with a bad ankle, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. Sources have described Fox as a steadying presence and the team's closer, and one rough series does not appear to have changed that. His four-year, $229 million extension kicks in next season, lifting his salary to roughly $49.8 million. The bigger fantasy thread is the backcourt logjam: Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper all need the ball, and Fox's production settled around 18.6 points and 6.2 assists in a shared setup. Harper's camp is expected to push harder for a starting role after a 24-point, seven-steal playoff game, making last year's No. 2 pick the upside name to track while the Spurs hold firm on Fox.

De'Aaron Fox Falters in Season-Ending Defeat
San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox endured a brutal shooting night in Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 loss to the New York Knicks, scoring seven points on 3-for-15 from the field. He added five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer, but he and fellow starter Stephon Castle combined to shoot 4-for-25 as the Spurs fell 4-1 in the Finals. Rookie Dylan Harper outplayed both off the bench with a team-high 25 points, fueling calls to rework San Antonio's backcourt. That is the fantasy concern for next season: Fox remains an elite scorer and playmaker with steals upside, but his cold Finals and the fast-rising Harper and Castle cloud his usage and even his hold on a starting role, all with his four-year max extension set to begin in 2026-27. His talent keeps the floor high, yet the situation is suddenly worth monitoring.

Dylan Harper Closes Finals with Another Strong Line
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper finished Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 loss to the New York Knicks with a team-high 25 points, five rebounds, four assists, one block, and two three-pointers. The rookie shot 10-for-19 from the field and 3-for-5 at the line, giving San Antonio a much-needed offensive lift as its season ended in the NBA Finals. Harper also scored 21 points in Game 4, so he closed the series with back-to-back strong scoring efforts. After averaging 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists during the regular season, his postseason growth should put him on fantasy radars entering his second year.

Dylan Harper Continues to Shine for Spurs in Finals
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper had another fantastic performance off the bench in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, finishing a 107-106 loss with 21 points, four rebounds, and three assists. He missed only four of 12 field-goal attempts and went 3-for-6 from deep. Harper turned only 20 in March, but he's playing like an experienced veteran in his first Finals appearance. Through four games, the second-generation NBA player has averaged 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 31.0 minutes per game. It will be interesting to see how Harper copes with the pressure of an elimination game on Saturday night, with San Antonio down 3-1 in the series.

De'Aaron Fox Comes Up Clutch in Game 3 Against Knicks
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox had another frustrating evening on Monday in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, but he made key plays late in the game to help the team earn a 115-111 road win. With 12.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Fox hit a jumper to give San Antonio a five-point lead. A couple of minutes earlier, he had an impressive block on Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns. Fox recorded two blocks in total and snagged one steal. Offensively, he finished the night with 12 points and a game-high eight assists. After his 20-point outburst in Game 2, Fox's scoring contribution was modest due to a 4-for-14 record from the field. He missed all five attempts from three-point range. The two-time All-Star remains a volatile fantasy option in these playoffs.
