The San Antonio Spurs have lost guard Dylan Harper for the remainder of tonight's matchup due to a right leg injury, per Chris Haynes. The announcement came mid-game after Harper was forced to exit the floor and head to the locker room for evaluation by the team's medical staff.
The specific nature of the leg injury has not yet been disclosed by the organization. Harper has been a significant contributor for the Spurs this season, and his absence for the duration of this contest leaves a notable void in the team's backcourt rotation. Medical personnel are expected to conduct further imaging to determine the extent of the damage and establish a timeline for his potential return to action.
Prior to his exit, Harper was part of the active lineup looking to help San Antonio secure a victory. The Spurs will now have to rely on their bench depth to fill his minutes as they finish out the game. Further updates regarding his status for upcoming games are expected to be released following the post-game press conference or on tomorrow's official injury report.
