"San Antonio Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper suffered a left calf strain on Sunday and is expected to miss multiple weeks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Monday. Harper suffered the injury while defending a Nick Richards dunk in the second quarter of a 130-118 loss to the Phoenix Suns. An MRI on Monday revealed the strain. After falling awkwardly on a block attempt, Harper winced after walking toward the bench."
"Harper, 19, played a total of 11 minutes against the Suns and contributed 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting. The Spurs' No. 2 pick entered the game fourth on the team in scoring (14.4), also averaging 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in five games. "Yeah, I hope the best for him, for sure," Victor Wembanyama said of Harper after Sunday's game. "We've seen great things from him. It's actually been hard to believe how good he's played.""

The Spurs are also without De'Aaron Fox this season because of a preseason hamstring injury. Harper, 19, played 11 minutes in the game, scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, and averaged 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.2 steals through five games.
