Bounces back in win Harper amassed 22 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and three rebounds across 26 minutes in Monday's 135-132 win over the Pelicans.

Impact After shooting 1-for-11 from the field in Friday's loss to Cleveland, Harper bounced back in a major way Monday. The rookie racked up a career-high 22 points, pacing San Antonio's bench in points and finishing as the club's second-leading scorer. He has scored in double figures in five of his last six outings. Harper also dished out at least six assists for the fifth time in 13 regular-season appearances.

Woeful shooting in loss Harper amassed three points (1-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and six assists over 23 minutes during Friday's 130-117 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Harper was terrible from the field, going 1-for-11 on his way to three points. However, the fact that he played 23 was encouraging, continuing his recent upward trend. He is worth taking a chance on in standard leagues despite this performance, just in case he can carve out a consistent 26-minute role for himself.

Hits for 15 off bench Harper contributed 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), one rebound and six assists across 21 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 126-119 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact The second overall pick in the 2025 Draft missed most of November with a calf strain, but Harper's now scored in double digits in three straight games, helping to take on some of the scoring load in place of Stephon Castle (hip). Over those three contests, Harper's averaging 14.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in just 18.7 minutes with the second unit while shooting 58.6 percent from the floor.

Active in 17 minutes in return Harper (calf) recorded seven points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes in Wednesday's 115-102 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact A poor showing from two-point range dulled some of the impact of Harper's line in his return from a 10-game absence due to a calf strain, but the rookie first-round pick gave the Spurs some quality minutes Wednesday to keep San Antonio in position to win its NBA Cup group. San Antonio will likely remain without one of its key pieces in the backcourt in Stephon Castle (hip) for at least a couple more games, so Harper could have the opportunity to pick up more minutes in the short term as he ramps back up following the calf injury.

Suiting up Wednesday Harper (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Portland, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact The stage is set for the rookie No. 2 overall pick to return from a 10-game absence with a calf strain. Although Harper could have a minutes restriction right off the bat, the Spurs could have a significant role in mind for him in the absence of Stephon Castle (hip). Over six appearances in 2025-26, Harper has averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.7 steals in 23.3 minutes per game.

Iffy for Wednesday Harper (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Harper has missed the Spurs' last 10 games due to a left calf strain, though the questionable tag suggests he can be considered day-to-day moving forward. If the rookie guard is ultimately cleared to play, he'll likely face heavy restrictions following the extended absence. The 19-year-old's return will likely result in a dip in playing time for David Jones Garcia and Keldon Johnson. Over six regular-season appearances, Harper has averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.7 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the field in 23.3 minutes per contest.

Still out Sunday Harper (calf) will remain on the inactive list for Sunday's game in Phoenix.

Impact Sunday will mark Harper's 10th consecutive missed game, and the Spurs have yet to update his timetable, so he should be considered week-to-week. Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie will continue to pick up the slack in Harper's absence.
