SAS Guard #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Dylan Harper (knee) is available for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Timberwolves.

Added to the Spurs’ injury report early Tuesday afternoon, Harper is good to go for Game 5. He’ll take on his usual role as the first option off the bench for the Spurs, who are looking to take a 3-2 series lead.
De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4

De’Aaron Fox (ankle) is available for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Timberwolves.

Fox was a game-time decision due to a sore right ankle. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting point guard, with Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie and Victor Wembanyama completing the quintet.
Dylan Harper

SAS Guard #2

Dylan Harper (knee) is questionable to play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Harper wasn’t initially on the injury report for this game, but he will now join De’Aaron Fox (ankle) as questionable. Both players have played large roles in the backcourt throughout the postseason, with Harper likely to replace Fox in the starting unit if Fox is out and Harper plays. If both are sidelined, Stephon Castle will likely play the majority of the point guard minutes, with Jordan McLaughlin potentially entering the rotation to provide some ball-handling relief for Castle.
De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4

De’Aaron Fox (ankle) was seen getting shots up during shootaround ahead of Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

This was during the portion of shootaround that was open to media, so the extent of his participation during shootaround is unclear. Fox injured his ankle during the third quarter of Game 4 but was able to return to finish the game. Fox finished with 24 points in the loss, which was the first time he reached 20 points this series. If he is available, they’ll need him to be far more productive than he has been through the first four games of this series. If Fox is unable to suit up, the Spurs will turn to Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper even more than they have to this point.
De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4

De’Aaron Fox (ankle) is questionable to play on Tuesday against the Timberwolves.

Fox’s ankle injury came during the third quarter of Game 4 when Minnesota’s Ayo Dosunmu dove for a loose ball and crashed into Fox’s foot. Fox was subbed out but eventually returned to finish the game. He’s struggled with his shooting through four games thus far and hasn’t been a major factor in terms of making plays for others. Still, his injury status is a big one to monitor ahead of Tuesday’s contest.
Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Victor Wembanyama will not be fined nor will he face a suspension for elbowing Naz Reid in Sunday’s Game 3 against the Timberwolves.

Wembanyama was ejected early in Sunday’s loss after receiving a Flagrant 2 foul for an elbow to Naz Reid’s head. With the series tied up at two games apiece, the Spurs will get Wemby for a pivotal Game 5 back home at Frost Bank Center.
Luke Kornet

SAS Center-Forward #7

Luke Kornet finished Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Timberwolves with seven points (3-of-4 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks.

After playing a total of 32 minutes in the first three games of the Spurs’ second-round series, Kornet was asked to play 26 minutes in Game 4. The reason was Victor Wembanyama’s second-quarter ejection after picking up a Flagrant 2 foul. Kornet held his own on the glass, but there were also times when the Spurs called on Carter Bryant (two points and one rebound in 12 minutes) as part of a center-less lineup. With Wembanyama back in the fold for Game 5 on Tuesday, Kornet’s minutes are going to decrease significantly.
Dylan Harper

SAS Guard #2

Dylan Harper tallied 24 points (8-of-11 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, three steals and one three-pointer in Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Timberwolves.

On a night when Victor Wembanyama was ejected for the first time in his NBA career just over three minutes into the second quarter, the Spurs still had chances to win Game 4. Harper was one of the reasons why, with the rookie guard producing one of the best performances of his first NBA season. Highly efficient as a shooter, Harper finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, playing 27 minutes. Even with his reserve role, he has the talent needed to be a difference-maker in this series, which is tied at two games apiece.
Stephon Castle

SAS Guard #5

Stephon Castle recorded 20 points (8-of-17 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Timberwolves.

The Spurs didn’t pick up the win on Sunday, but Castle’s improved efficiency as a playmaker was one of the positives to take from Game 4. After totaling nine turnovers in Games 2 and 3, he committed one on Sunday while shooting just under 50 percent from the field. Despite Victor Wembanyama being ejected in the second quarter, the Spurs still had chances to win late, with Castle’s play being one of the reasons. San Antonio hosts Game 5 on Tuesday night with the series tied at two games apiece.
De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4

De’Aaron Fox produced 24 points (8-of-23 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Timberwolves.

Despite three players scoring at least 20 points, the Spurs were unable to take a 3-1 series lead on Sunday night. Fox may have led the way in scoring, but he once again shot the ball inefficiently. The Spurs’ guard has shot less than 40 percent from the field in three of the four games in this series, with Game 2 being the exception. Fox did keep the turnovers in check, committing just one, but that doesn’t matter much when a player leads the team in shot attempts but shoots as poorly as he did on Sunday. Game 5 is on Tuesday in San Antonio.
