David Jones Garcia is day-to-day with a right ankle injury after agreeing to a two-way contract with the Spurs on Wednesday. The 24-year-old guard has no game action to miss yet since the 2026-27 season has not started.
What happened
The Spurs listed David Jones Garcia as day-to-day with a right ankle injury on the Sunday, Sept. 6 injury report at 4:32 a.m. ET. It is his first appearance on the report, so there is no previous status to compare. The listing comes after Jones Garcia agreed to a two-way contract with San Antonio on Wednesday, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com, who reported the deal included the ankle issue.
What it means for the Spurs
San Antonio opens its 2026-27 schedule at home against the Hawks on Thursday, Oct. 8, with the Spurs at 0-0 since the season has not started. Jones Garcia played 11 games last season, averaging 6.2 minutes, 2.9 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists. With him day-to-day, backcourt and wing minutes are expected to come from De'Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper, who logged 31.0, 30.5, 30.0 and 22.6 minutes per game, respectively, without him on the floor. There is no record split to report with or without him, since no regular-season games have been played.
What to watch
The Spurs will update Jones Garcia's status on their next injury report as the ankle heals. His expected return is listed as Oct. 1, ahead of the regular-season opener against the Hawks on Oct. 8. San Antonio's only other player on the current report is Jayden Quaintance, who is out with a right knee injury.
