The San Antonio Spurs are set to begin the 2026-27 season, but they have encountered a significant setback. Ahead of the preseason games, 16-year NBA veteran forward Tobias Harris suffered an injury that has put his availability for the season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder in jeopardy. Harris reportedly strained his left calf during training camp and did not participate in the Silver & Black scrimmage on Sunday.
His condition will be re-evaluated after the preseason games, and his availability for the Oct. 20 season opener is currently uncertain. The Spurs acquired Harris on a two-year, $30.8 million contract over the summer, and he is coming off a successful season with the Detroit Pistons. Last season, Harris averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists while shooting 36.8% from the field.
He played a crucial role in the Pistons' playoff run, averaging 18.1 points and 7.2 rebounds during the postseason. Harris was enticed by the Spurs' recent success, including their run to the NBA Finals led by 22-year-old Victor Wembanyama. In fact, Harris spoke about Wembanyama's work ethic during Media Day, praising the young superstar for his dedication.
