San Antonio Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper will miss an undetermined number of games as he recovers from a calf injury sustained in a game on Sunday, Nov. 2 against the Phoenix Suns.
The Spurs announced Harper underwent an MRI in Los Angeles on Monday, Nov. 3 that revealed he has a left calf strain. The Spurs did not reveal a timetable for his return, stating only, ‘the team will provide updates as appropriate.’
Harper suffered a calf injury while defending Nick Richards’ dunk attempt during the second quarter of Sunday’s game. He was seen wincing in pain before heading to the locker room and was ruled out during halftime for the rest of the game.
Harper has emerged as one of the top rookies in the NBA through the first two weeks of the season. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft out of Rutgers is averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, while shooting 50% from the floor and 35.7% on three-pointers.
He had scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting in just 11 minutes of play on Sunday. His best game so far occurred on Oct. 26 against the Brooklyn Nets when he tallied 20 points on 8-for-11 shooting, six rebounds, eight assists and two steals.
