  1. Low-key thought the Jones-Garcia guy has been better than him (and the best player in SL as a whole) but this was to be expected. He’s basically been as advertised.

  3. Not entirely unexpected. It’s better that they bench him than turn his minor groin injury into something serious with extended use.

  5. I get it, summer league is insignificant for any long term future of the squad, but it’s disappointing that all we got was two games with limited minutes for Dylan. And now we go into a two and a half month stretch of no basketball.

  6. I thought the Spurs would let him play more but it is what it is. Jones-Garcia is going to take SL MVP.

  7. That’s for the best, he played very solid on limited minutes. Can’t wait for the real thing.

  8. Would be nice to see him play more Summer League as a fan, but tbh more development often happens outside of SL (which is basically rec ball). Looking forward to seeing him in October woooooo

  9. Obviously would have loved to see more of him, and see him get some burn at NBA speed, but I am OK with them shutting him down, if he is just coming off a groin injury.

    Time to give DJG the green light and let him go earn a contract (with the Spurs or somewhere else)

  10. Carter Bryant needs more shots – if he chucks up twice as many maybe one will fall

  13. I love watching Harper so this is a bit of a bummer in that regard. But it’s the right move. He doesn’t have anything to prove in a format like this. And since apparently his groin injury, and some of his conditioning, issues were genuinely real and not just a team trying to arrest him, I’d rather him just focus on practicing, getting in shape, getting healed and getting ready for training camp.

  14. I don’t know why anyone would be disappointed or surprised by this move? He’s still not 100% healthy and rusty.

    They should let him heal up and get ready for training camp with his actual teammates that he needs to develop chemistry with. No sense in risking his groin over summer league.

  15. Completely okay with this, the young in already proves to us he’s the real deal. Let his rehab and enjoy his last summer off out of the Playoffs 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  19. I was hoping we wouldn’t hear any news about this because then it would mean he would be playing but here we are, I understand why. Here’s to us finishing off the summer league and winning a chip nobody will remember.

  20. Wemby only played two games and didn’t play a lot of minutes either. This was always going to be the plan for Harper too, being a top 2 overall pick.
