Not starting in Game 3 Harper (hip) won't start in Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Thunder.

Impact Harper started in the first two games of this series in place of De'Aaron Fox (ankle). However, Fox is cleared to suit up for Game 3 and will reclaim his place in the starting lineup. Still, Harper should lead the bench in minutes, assuming he's healthy enough to do so after exiting and not returning to Game 2 on Wednesday.

Cleared to play Friday Harper is available to play in Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus Oklahoma City.

Impact Harper started in the first two games of the series in place of De'Aaron Fox (ankle). He had 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and seven steals in Game 1. While the rookie played well in Game 2, he didn't finish the contest due to injury. With Fox available Friday, Harper will presumably head back to the bench, although he should still see plenty of minutes from off the bench, assuming he is healthy enough for a full workload.

Won't return Wednesday Harper (leg) won't return to Wednesday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals versus Oklahoma City, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. He will finish with 12 points (5-10...

Impact Harper exited in the third quarter. While he attempted to return, he was stopped by the team's medical staff. Now that the rookie is ruled out for the remainder of the contest, his status will be a topic of discussion ahead of Game 3 on Friday. If Harper and De'Aaron Fox (ankle), who hasn't played yet during this series, can't suit up, Keldon Johnson would be the favorite to enter the starting lineup, with extra minutes potentially being absorbed by Carter Bryant and Jordan McLaughlin.

Heads to locker room Wednesday Harper (hamstring) exited Wednesday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against Oklahoma City, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Harper was escorted back to the locker room in the third quarter. While he was observed attempting to get back on the floor, he was stopped by the Spurs' training staff. Harper's status remains a mystery, so there's a chance he won't return to Game 2. If that's the case, Keldon Johnson could be looking at more minutes the rest of the way.

Earns All-Rookie team honors Harper was named to the NBA All-Rookie first team for the 2025-26 season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Harper, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, averaged 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals over 22.6 minutes in 69 games last season. Although the 20-year-old had some stellar showings throughout the 2025-26 campaign, he wasn't a consistent producer. With only four starts as a rookie, Harper might be more productive in his second season if he can get more opportunities with the first-five. While he will presumably continue to get minutes regardless of his role, his ceiling could be capped as long as he's sharing the floor with Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, and De'Aaron Fox moving ahead.
