Spurs' Devin Vassell: Solid shooting in preseason loss
Vassell registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 18 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Vassell was efficient during his limited playing time, shooting 50 percent from both the field and three-point range while making both free-throw attempts. He also contributed defensively with a steal and a block. The veteran wing helped San Antonio build a commanding first-half advantage before the starters rested, and his combination of perimeter shooting and two-way production should remain an important part of the Spurs' rotation. Unless something dramatic happens in the Spurs' camp over the next two weeks, Vassell should open the 2026-27 regular season as San Antonio's starting small forward.

Spurs' Stephon Castle: Scores 14 points in preseason opener
Castle finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 18 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Castle delivered an efficient offensive performance, connecting on five of eight field-goal attempts while contributing across multiple statistical categories. With De'Aaron Fox sidelined by soreness, Castle shared the backcourt with Dylan Harper, offering an early glimpse of San Antonio's potential guard combinations. Castle is cemented as the starting shooting guard ahead of the regular-season opener against the Thunder on Oct. 20, so fantasy managers shouldn't read much into his lack of minutes in the preseason.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Posts nine points in limited action
Wembanyama recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a block across 17 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Wembanyama played a relatively modest role statistically, attempting just six shots while San Antonio limited its starters to first-half action. The abbreviated workload offered little reason for concern as San Antonio eased its franchise centerpiece into preseason competition. He should be one of the first players off the board in every fantasy draft and is expected to be a massive contributor on both ends of the court for the Spurs once the regular season begins Oct. 20 against the Thunder.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Scores team-high 16 points
Harper scored 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding four rebounds, four assists and a steal across 19 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason loss to the Hawks.
Harper was one of six players to score in double digits for the Spurs, and he led all San Antonio players in scoring. No player outside of Carter Bryant logged more than 20 minutes for the Spurs, and Harper doesn't need to log heavy minutes in preseason since he's locked into a prominent role ahead of the 2026-27 season -- even if he's not listed as a starter in the backcourt.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Won't play Thursday
Fox won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks due to soreness, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
It's unclear exactly what is bothering Fox, though he was a late scratch due to soreness. His next chance to play in the preseason will come Saturday against the Suns.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Late addition to first unit
Champagnie will start Thursday's preseason game against Atlanta, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
The Spurs initially released a starting lineup that didn't include Champagnie, but the team has since reported that De'Aaron Fox has been downgraded to out due to soreness. This opens up a slot in the starting five for Champagnie, who is expected to play a key role this season for San Antonio after averaging 11.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 82 regular-season appearances a year ago.

Spurs' Malik Williams: Won't suit up Thursday
Williams (undisclosed) is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.
Williams won't be an option for this contest, but the big man isn't likely to play a big role with the Spurs anytime soon. He's expected to play for the Austin Spurs in the G League in the 2026-27 campaign. His next chance to play in the preseason will come against the Suns on Saturday.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Won't start Thursday
Champagnie is not starting Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.
Dylan Harper is getting the nod over Champagnie in the first unit. The two are battling for San Antonio's final starting position while Tobias Harris (calf) is sidelined.

Spurs' Dylan Harper: Starting Thursday
Harper is starting Thursday's game against the Hawks, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.
The Spurs are getting a look at a three-guard lineup with De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle. It looks like Harper has a chance to start Opening Night with Tobias Harris (calf) injured.

Spurs' David Jones Garcia: Good to go Thursday
Jones Garcia (ankle) is good to go for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
After undergoing ankle surgery in February, Jones Garcia apparently has a clean bill of health ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. He's on a two-way contract with the Spurs and is likely to see a lot of G League reps.

Spurs' Maliq Brown: Sitting out Thursday
Brown (back) is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Hawks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Brown is dealing with some tightness, so this sounds like a precaution. The No. 44 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft is not expected to crack the rotation on Opening Night.

Spurs' Jayden Quaintance: Still without timetable for return
Quaintance has been around the team but has not yet been cleared for basketball activities, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.
The Spurs are expected to exercise extreme caution with the big man, as Quaintance suffered a torn ACL and meniscus with Arizona State in February 2025 before appearing in only four games with Kentucky last season due to severe complications and persistent swelling. The 19-year-old underwent a cleanup procedure on his meniscus in mid-July, and the Spurs will likely want him at 100 percent before ramping him up to basketball activities.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Looks quicker ahead of 2026-27
Johnson appears to have lost weight ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, with Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com noting that he looks "quicker with a little more bounce than last season."
Johnson earned Sixth Man of the Year honors in 2025-26, averaging 13.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.6 steals across 23.3 minutes per game in 82 regular-season appearances off the bench. He is expected to continue providing a spark with the second unit in 2026-27, though he'll face added competition for touches on a talented San Antonio team that added Tobias Harris (calf) this offseason.

Spurs' Tobias Harris: Won't be rushed to return
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said they will not rush Harris (calf) back to the court, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
"It's a calf strain, the seriousness is what it is," said Johnson. "We won't rush him at all. I guess the question will be is he ready for the season opener? Totally questionable and we will not push that at all. So, we'll take it slow. There is no concern of this level of seriousness, and at the same time, we will not rush him at all." It sounds like Harris, who has already been ruled out for the preseason, is in danger of missing opening night. His absence will open up minutes for Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes.

Spurs' Tobias Harris: Dealing with calf injury
Harris will not play in the preseason due to a left calf strain, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Harris sustained the injury to his calf during training camp and will be reevaluated after the preseason. The 34-year-old pro signed a two-year contract with the Spurs this offseason. He should be considered questionable for the regular-season opener on October 20.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Working to expand offensive game
Vassell has been working on getting downhill and finishing through contact ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, Cory Mose of KVUE News reports Saturday.
Vassell scored a career-high 53.4 percent of his points from beyond the arc in 2025-26, averaging 13.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.9 steals across 30.5 minutes per game in 67 regular-season appearances (65 starts). Just 42.8 percent of Vassell's shot attempts came from two-point range, marking a career low after he finished above 50.2 percent in each of his previous five seasons. He may look to increase his two-point volume as he continues playing a sizable role for a San Antonio squad aiming to get back to the NBA Finals.

Spurs' Julian Champagnie: Not worried about starting role
Champagnie said Monday that he's not really "paying attention" to whether he starts or not, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports.
Champagnie is instead focused on helping the Spurs win a title following their NBA Finals loss to the Knicks. The 25-year-old swingman is coming off a career year in which he started 68 of his 82 regular-season appearances, averaging 11.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 triples, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 38.1 percent from deep in 27.6 minutes per contest. However, Tobias Harris is now in the mix, making it uncertain whether Champagnie will begin the regular season in the starting five. Still, he's fresh off signing a three-year, $45 million contract and figures to remain an important piece for San Antonio for the foreseeable future.

Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Ready to move past poor NBA Finals
Head coach Mitch Johnson said he expects Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper and Fox to play together more during the regular season, per Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press.
Fox played through an ankle sprain for the Spurs during the NBA Finals, averaging only 12.8 points per game while shooting 34.4 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from deep across the five Finals contests. The emergence of Dylan Harper last postseason has a serious threat nipping at Fox's heels for more playing time at point guard, but it sounds like the Spurs are willing to deploy all three in the lineup at times to accommodate for all their backcourt talent.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Feeling healthy this fall
Wembanyama believes he's in better shape this season, per Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio.
Head coach Mitch Johnson is also looking for more growth in Wembanyama as a playmaker, per Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News. Any rise in ball-handling duties would be a welcome addition for the superstar big man, who's already a candidate to go first overall in fantasy drafts this fall as the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
