Spurs' Harris Questionable for Regular-Season Opener After Straining Left Calf in Training Camp
Harris signed a two-year, $31 million deal and will be reevaluated after San Antonio’s five-game preseason schedule, team officials said.
- On Sunday, the San Antonio Spurs announced forward Tobias Harris will miss the preseason after suffering a left calf strain during training camp; he is listed as questionable for the October 20 regular-season opener.
- Harris signed a two-year, $31 million contract this summer to bolster San Antonio's wing depth, bringing 16 years of NBA experience to a roster that reached the NBA Finals in June.
- "Tobias is amazing," Keldon Johnson said, while Mitch Johnson noted his "reputation precedes himself." Harris called the pairing with the contender "a perfect match."
- Julian Champagnie is expected to retain his starting role during Harris's recovery, maintaining wing depth alongside Harrison Barnes. The team will reevaluate Harris after the five-game preseason schedule.
- The regular-season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 20 serves as a rematch of last season's Western Conference Finals. Uncertainty surrounds Harris's availability for that game.
