Following a calf injury that forced the second overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft to leave a game vs. the Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs Head Coach Mitch Johnson said he had no further update about Dylan Harper.
The perfect start had to end sometime. For the San Antonio Spurs, that moment came on a humbling Sunday night in the desert. Riding high on an undefeated 5-0 record, the young Spurs walked into the Footprint Center with a swagger that has been building since day one of this promising season.
San Antonio guard Dylan Harper, the No. 2 pick in this year's draft, sustained a left calf injury and exited in the second quarter of the Spurs' 130-118 loss to the host Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.
The Phoenix Suns walked into San Antonio on Sunday night and handed the Spurs their first loss of the season, riding a blistering shooting display and a command performance from Devin Booker in a 130-118 win.
In what turned out to be a nightmare of a night, the Spurs lost both their undefeated record and potentially Dylan Harper to injury in Phoenix. The Suns rained threes and looked like the more mature and polished team en route to a 130-118 win that wasn’t as close as the final score reflects.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
Phoenix swarmed the Spurs from the onset, particularly Victor Wembanyama (9 point, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks), and forced them well out of their comfort zone to win comfortably.
This is a dagger through Spurs nation’s heart. San Antonio is once again going through the same fears as when Victor Wembanyama’s 2024-25 season ended prematurely.
Victor Wembanyama has been on a tear this season. Both offensively and defensively. This includes leading the league in blocks per game at 4.8. When asked about continuing to block shots, Wembanyama gave a confident answer.
The San Antonio Spurs are 5-0 for the first time in franchise history. The San Antonio Spurs are coming off a 107-101 victory over the Miami Heat as Victor Wembanyama led the way with another outstanding performance.
Victor Wembanyama posted 27 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and five blocks while leading the host San Antonio Spurs to a 107-101 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday night.
