The
Harris, who joined the franchise as a free agent on July 6, was notably absent from the team's annual Silver & Black intrasquad scrimmage held this past Sunday. The injury has effectively ruled him out of the Spurs' entire five-game preseason schedule as he undergoes treatment and recovery.
Status for Regular-Season Opener Remains Uncertain
According to official team statements, Harris will be reevaluated once the preseason concludes. His participation in the highly anticipated regular-season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 20 remains questionable. The matchup, which serves as a rematch of last season’s Western Conference Finals, is a significant early test for the Spurs, and the team will be hoping for a positive prognosis for their new forward.
The 6-foot-8 power forward signed a two-year deal with San Antonio this summer, bringing valuable experience to the roster. Harris spent the previous two seasons with the Detroit Pistons, where he played a key role in helping the team secure the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings. During his final season in Detroit, he maintained solid production, averaging 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists across 27.7 minutes per game.
