San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper will join the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports. The 20-year-old rookie will make his second career start, filling in for De'Aaron Fox (back). His first start was last week against Indiana, and Harper didn't look out of place in the first unit, scoring 24 points in 28 minutes. Additionally, he had four rebounds and three assists. Memphis is also a struggling team, giving Harper a good chance to make even more noise.

Tue Mar 1721:24Dylan Harper Available Against Kings
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against Sacramento after missing two games with a right calf contusion. The rookie should reclaim a steady bench role after posting 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 24 minutes in his last appearance. His return could trim minutes for Carter Bryant and potentially push Jordan McLaughlin out of the rotation. Harper offers deep-league appeal for assists and balanced production, though his fantasy ceiling remains modest behind De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle in the guard rotation.

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (ankle) has been cleared to play on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

While Harper has had an up-and-down rookie campaign, he was riding positive momentum before his injury. Over his last three appearances, Harper has averaged 17.0 points per game. Keeping the hot spell going could prove tricky, given that Dallas has a top-10 defensive rating.

Mon Nov 3 202518:36Dylan Harper to "Miss Multiple Weeks"
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (calf) will "miss multiple weeks." The rookie was injured during Sunday's loss to the Phoenix Suns and was observed leaving the arena in a walking boot. Luckily, an MRI confirmed he only suffered a calf strain. While "multiple weeks" doesn't specify exactly how long Harper will be out of the equation, fantasy managers might see him back on the floor before the end of the month. Unfortunately, the eventual return of De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) may impact Harper's workload. The 2025 No. 2 overall pick has played well in his inaugural year, averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. In the meantime, Jordan McLaughlin could be in line for more work, although he's not worth rostering in most fantasy formats.

Mon Nov 3 202511:09Dylan Harper Exits Arena Sunday in Walking Boot
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (calf) exited the team's loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in the second quarter while trying to defend a Nick Richards dunk. The rookie suffered a calf injury of sorts and didn't return to the game. Afterwards, he was seen leaving the arena on crutches and wearing a walking boot. Head coach Mitch Johnson didn't have any further information during the post-game press conference, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait for any tests that will be done soon. Before leaving, Harper registered 12 points (5-8 FG) and one rebound in 11 minutes. Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell will likely be tasked with more responsibilities if Harper has to miss any time, especially since De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) hasn't debuted yet. Jordan McLaughlin could also see some added minutes off the bench for relief point guard duties.

Fri Oct 10 202513:19Dylan Harper in Line to Play in First Preseason Game
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (thumb) has officially been cleared for his preseason debut on Friday against the Utah Jazz. According to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News, Harper is "in line" to receive some minutes for his first exhibition game ahead of the new season. The second-overall pick underwent thumb surgery about a month ago to address a torn ligament in his left thumb, and was hopeful at the time that he would be ready for the season opener. Barring any setbacks, it looks like the Rutgers product should be ready to go. In his lone year at Rutgers, Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game while shooting .484 from the floor and .333 from deep.

Sat Sep 6 202516:48Dylan Harper Hoping to be Ready for the Opener Versus Dallas
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (thumb) suffered a partially torn ligament in his left thumb. He suffered the injury while training on Wednesday, resulting in surgery. The rookie is hoping to be ready for the opener versus the Dallas Mavericks on October 22. Harper was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. In 29 games at Rutgers, he averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.4 steals. The latest update shouldn't decrease his value for dynasty managers. On the other hand, Harper's redraft stock should fall, even more so if he's not cleared to suit up to begin the season. The 19-year-old is expected to come off the bench in 2025. He could have difficulty being a reliable fantasy producer, as long as De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Victor Wembanyama are healthy.

Harper will likely take on a heavy workload during his rookie season.
