Per the Spurs Tobias Harris has suffered a left calf strain and will be evaluated after the preseason. He is officially QUESTIONABLE for the season opener vs. OKC on Oct. 20. Team says the injury happened during training camp.

Definitely need to be careful with calf strains as well. Usually leads to achilles tear if they continue playing through it

Is it? I thought Tobias Harris is historically a very healthy player? I feel like I can’t even remember any injuries he’s really had.

u/roastedhambone Thunder 5h ago
Yeah he’s played at least 61 games every season for the last 14 years, only 3 under 65 games in that stretch

So Champagnie will remain the starting PF for a couple weeks. Very similar to the beginning of last year when Fox was out the beginning of the season

This sucks, I love me some Uncle T. I know Sixers fans like to clown on him but he was great for the Pistons.

WTF are you talking about???

u/EfficientReach5571 Knicks 6h ago
22nd all-time highest career earnings, just signed yet another contract and is immediately injured. I meant that he is the GOAT at getting maximum value contracts given his talent/contribution. My bad it was poorly phrased lol

u/thered90 Spurs 6h ago
I’d say 15/year for Tobias Harris is pretty reasonable. If we need him not injured at any point of the season then we have other issues to attend to.

u/EfficientReach5571 Knicks 5h ago
Yeah I agree it's pretty reasonable and he can absolutely contribute. I guess his career earnings are mostly that Sixers max which.. yeah

I was going to make a joke about him being the NBA's version of Kirk Cousins, but holy shit Kirk Cousins is #4 all time in NFL career earnings
1) Matthew Stafford - $448mil
2) Aaron Rodgers - $417mil
3) Dak Prescott - $337mil
4) Kirk Cousins - $333mil
5) Tom Brady - $ 332mil
6) Russell Wilson - $315mil

idk shit about football but maybe that's James Harden (also 4th all-time)? Or Paul George at 5th is actually way more shocking

Dylan Harper takes his spot

u/Ok_Chest_1203 Nuggets 6h ago
why would dylan harper, a guard, take a forward's spot? Are the spurs gonna run a 3 guard lineup?

u/FKJVMMP [MIL] Bill Zopf 6h ago
They could, Harper and Castle are both pretty big. Depends who they’re playing I guess, but as long as they’re not up against a true double-big lineup (eg. Heat) they could get away with it just fine.
1
u/Ok_Chest_1203 Nuggets 6h ago
The on/off metrics for that lineup seem pretty fucking bad for some reason but the sample size is pretty tiny.
1
u/Wild-Bid8858 4h ago
Yup. The Fox/Castle/Harper lineup is lacking size in the forward position and reliable corner shooters.

u/pantaloofs Spurs 6h ago
height aside, i think the spurs could get away with steph castle as a forward more easily than they could get away with dylan harper as a forward….

I’m not a bad person but I got a little happy when I read this message. Maybe we can start out with a win and then go 82-0

"I'm not a bad person but I got happy hearing a player was injured" Yeah, yeah.. Makes perfect sense, yep.

Tobias wasn't there in the playoffs last season. 2 pounds heavier Chet will still be afraid against Wemby

u/SHEEPLE24 Thunder 6h ago
Neither was Jdub or wemby and we took them to 7 so we’ll see what happens I’m very excited for it. Sucks Harris isn’t there tho it woulda been a fun matchup

u/FERFreak731 Jazz 6h ago
The Thunder will always lose to the Spurs when it matters as long as Chet has Wembyphobia

u/SHEEPLE24 Thunder 6h ago
Hey what’s wemby doing against 215 pounds instead of 213. Big money moves right there

I think the same thing happened to De’arron Fox at the start of last season too, he had to miss preseason cause he got injured in training camp
