Devin Vassell Unavailable on Monday
Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports that San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is unavailable for Monday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns due to left adductor tightness. Vassell missed 12 games last campaign with a strain in the same area. The 26-year-old will sit out his first game this season after averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. With Tobias Harris (calf) also ruled out, Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson, and Carter Bryant will likely see extended minutes.

Devin Vassell Questionable for Monday Against Suns
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns due to left adductor tightness. It's a notable issue for the 26-year-old, who missed 12 games last season with a strain in the same area. Vassell has yet to sit out this season and enters Monday after scoring 19 points with five threes against Sacramento on Friday and 15 points against Portland on Saturday. He's averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. With Tobias Harris (calf) already ruled out, Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson, and Carter Bryant could absorb additional wing minutes if Vassell can't go.

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.

Jayden Nunn Signs Training Camp Deal with Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs signed guard Jayden Nunn to a training camp contract Friday, according to Paul Garcia, bringing their roster to 19 players. The former Baylor guard spent last season with the Austin Spurs, averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 28.2 minutes across 47 games while shooting 40.1 percent from three. Nunn was quieter during Summer League, posting 3.9 points in 14.8 minutes across seven appearances. San Antonio owns his G-League rights, making another stint in Austin a realistic outcome. With De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper ahead of him, Nunn is unlikely to get enough minutes to make a fantasy impact.

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.

Taelon Peter Signs Exhibit 10 Deal with Spurs
Guard Taelon Peter has agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the San Antonio Spurs, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, giving him a training-camp invite rather than a guaranteed roster spot. Peter was waived by Indiana in July after appearing in 38 games as a rookie, averaging 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists while shooting 32.8 percent from three. The 24-year-old showed more in the NBA G League, where he averaged 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 20 games with the Noblesville Boom. He shot 45.3 percent from deep as a senior at Liberty, but he has no fantasy value unless the jumper translates and he earns something firmer than a camp look.

Spurs Re-Sign G-League Standout David Jones-Garcia to Two-Way Deal
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward David Jones-Garcia has agreed to a new two-way deal, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, keeping one of last season's top G-League scorers in the organization. Jones Garcia poured in 26.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.8 steals for the Austin Spurs and earned a Rising Stars nod, but he managed just 11 quiet NBA games before right ankle surgery ended his year. Whether he is ready for training camp remains uncertain. Even at full strength, the 24-year-old has no clear path on San Antonio's deep young roster and should spend most of his time in Austin. He is a long-term scoring flier, but his lack of an immediate rotation spot keeps him far off the fantasy radar for now.

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.

Devin Vassell Bounces Back Wednesday With 18 Points
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell scored 18 points in Wednesday's 107-106 loss in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks. After being limited to 11 points in Game 3, Vassell quickly found his offensive stride again, making three three-pointers in the first quarter. He finished 5-for-8 from outside, going 6-for-9 overall from the field. In 40 minutes of action, Vassell also recorded five rebounds, four assists, and one steal. This was Vassell's highest-scoring outing since Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against Oklahoma City. He's made 48% of his triples in the Finals, and getting Vassell good looks from deep could be a key factor in surviving Saturday's elimination game.

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.

Stephon Castle Sparks Into Life in Monday's Win
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle contributed 23 points as the team beat the New York Knicks 115-111 in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday. The 21-year-old sophomore also had five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block, going 8-for-15 from the field with a 2-for-5 effort from deep. After being quiet in the first two games of the Finals, Castle made a big impact on both ends. San Antonio's postseason success has often been linked to Castle's performance. His scoring efficiency has been more consistent, averaging 19.8 points in San Antonio's wins versus 17.3 points in losses. Through the first three games of the Finals, Castle has posted averages of 18.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists.

Dylan Harper Remains a Bright Spot for San Antonio
San Antonio Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper supplied a spark off the bench in Friday's 105-104 Game 2 loss to the New York Knicks, finishing with 15 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one steal. The No. 2 pick in the 2025 draft scored efficiently inside, going 6-for-12 from the field and 3-for-4 at the line while missing all three of his triples. He was one of the few bright spots in the defeat, posting a team-high plus-12 despite the 2-0 series hole. Harper's bench role behind De'Aaron Fox caps his ceiling, but the efficient scoring and rotation minutes keep him a usable DFS option for Monday's Game 3.
