Dylan Harper ready to return with the Spurs
San Antonio Spurs rookie Dylan Harper is scheduled to return to action this Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers, after missing ten games due to a left calf strain.
Harper confirmed his plan to play against the Trail Blazers during the team’s morning practice at the Moda Center.
Harper’s injury occurred while defending a dunk by Nick Richards during a game on November 2 in Phoenix. A subsequent MRI revealed the strain.
In his first six games, 19-year-old Harper averaged 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, with 50% field goal shooting and 35.7% from three-pointers. The second draft pick is expected to come off the bench against the Blazers.
Victor Wembanyama (calf) and guard Stephon Castle (hip flexor strain) remain out, but are expected to be re-evaluated soon to begin the return process.
