Victor Wembanyama’s new Spurs teammate could miss highly anticipated season opener
The San Antonio Spurs are facing an early injury concern after veteran offseason addition Tobias Harris suffered a strained left calf, putting his status for the season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder in question.
The San Antonio Spurs announced on Sunday that veteran forward Tobias Harris is dealing with a strained left calf, potentially sidelining him for the team's highly anticipated season opener on October 20th against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harris, 34, had previously joined the Spurs in July on a two-year, $31 million contract, bringing valuable experience and shooting abilities to the young frontcourt alongside rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama.
Harris averaged 13.5 points and 5.6 rebounds during his second season with Detroit, where he played a crucial role in the Pistons' turnaround, leading them to a 60-win season and their first postseason appearance since 2008. Despite the setback, the Spurs have not officially ruled Harris out of the game, but they plan to closely monitor his recovery, especially considering that calf injuries can be unpredictable, particularly for a veteran entering his 15th NBA season.
