After missing the California Classic due to a nagging groin injury, when will Spurs rookie Dylan Harper make his NBA debut?

Harper became the highest Scarlet Knight ever taken in the NBA Draft when he was picked second by the Spurs. He averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game for Rutgers in his only season in Piscataway. He shot 48.4% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point line.

League heads to Las Vegas as the San Antonio Spurs take on VJ Edgecombe and the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night.

It sounds slightly concerning, but the good news is that McDonald also reported that Harper is expected to play in the Spurs' Summer League game on Saturday against the Mavericks.

Rookie standout Dylan Harper leads the San Antonio Spurs against VJ Edgecombe and the Philadelphia 76ers tonight.

Edgecombe missed his two games because of a thumb contusion. Bailey missed his game because of a groin injury. Sorber will miss all of Summer League as he recovers from a February toe surgery. Thiero is expected to miss all of the Lakers' Summer League games as he recovers from a knee injury.

The NBA 2K26 Las Vegas Summer League kicks off Thursday, July 10 and the San Antonio Spurs headline tonight's primetime action. And with both the California Classic and the Salt Lake City summer leagues now wrapping up play, all eyes will turn to Sin City.
