Tobias Harris out for preseason with calf strain, questionable for season opener

Not long before the Silver and Black scrimmage, the Spurs announced the first injury of the season. Lone free agency acquisition, forward Tobias Harris, suffered a left calf strain during training camp and will be reevaluated after the preseason. He is considered questionable for the regular season opener.

Harris was signed in free agency after averaging 13.3 points and 5.1 rebounds for a Detroit Pistons squad that won the East in the regular season before flaming out in the playoffs. He fills arguably the one weakness the Western Conference Champion Spurs had last season, which was size and offensive versatility at the power forward position. The good news is the Spurs can afford to let Harris take his time, as they have plenty of depth at the position with last season’s starter Julian Champagnie, plus Harrison Barnes and Carter Bryant.

The Spurs have not provided an update on rookie Jayden Quaintance, who underwent knee surgery following the draft to fix an injury that had been nagging him since his freshman year at Arizona State.
