Will Spurs' Dylan Harper play in Game 3? Injury update after exiting in Oklahoma City

1 hour ago 4

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper suffered a right hamstring injury in the third quarter of Wednesday night's 122-113 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals.

As the series shifts back to San Antonio, we now have more clarity about the status of the Spurs rookie. Harper will be a game-time decision tonight in Game 3, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. "MRI showed an adductor injury, not a hamstring." Harper will be out for the pregame warm-up, but is currently a "Game-time decision."

Harper's injury was another blow to the Spurs backcourt. De'Aaron Fox has missed consecutive games dealing with a right high ankle sprain suffered in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. We'll see if either Harper or Fox will be available.

Harper was named to the NBA All-Rookie first team this week. His outstanding play has carried over into this round with 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and a franchise playoff record seven steals. He added 12 points and three assists in 25 minutes in Game 2.

Without Harper or Fox in the lineup, the Spurs will lean on backup guards Jordan McLaughlin and Keldon Johnson.
