Dylan Harper has been cleared off the San Antonio injury report after being listed day-to-day, per Wednesday's update. The guard is available for the Spurs' season opener against the Suns.
What happened
The Spurs cleared Dylan Harper on the Wednesday, Oct. 14 injury report, removing the day-to-day tag he had carried since Monday, Oct. 12. That earlier listing had marked him day-to-day with a rest designation, not an injury detail. The injury report does not include a comment on Wednesday's clearance, and no further detail was given on the prior entry. An expected return date was not announced, since Harper no longer carries any status. He is in line to play when San Antonio opens its season against the Suns tonight at 8 p.m. ET.
What it means for the Spurs
Harper is set to play in the Spurs' season opener tonight against the Suns, a game San Antonio enters at 0-0 with the 2026-27 season not yet underway. Last season, he averaged 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 22.6 minutes across 69 games. In games he missed last season, San Antonio's minutes shifted toward De'Aaron Fox (31.0 minutes, 18.6 points), Devin Vassell (30.5 minutes, 13.9 points), Stephon Castle (30.0 minutes, 16.7 points) and Victor Wembanyama (29.2 minutes, 25.0 points), with Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes, Keldon Johnson and Luke Kornet also logging extended run. There is no record to cite with or without him this season, since the Spurs have not yet played a regular-season game.
What to watch
No timeline follows Wednesday's clearance, since Harper no longer carries a status on the injury report. The rest of San Antonio's Wednesday report still lists Carter Bryant day-to-day with an ankle issue, Jayden Quaintance out with a right knee injury, and Tobias Harris day-to-day with a left calf issue. The next injury report will show whether Harper reappears as the Spurs open their season tonight against the Suns.
