Spurs rookie guard Dylan Harper is active vs. Blazers after missing 3 1/2 weeks with calf injury | National

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — San Antonio Spurs rookie Dylan Harper is active for Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after missing 3 1/2 weeks because of a left calf injury.

The 6-foot-6 Harper — who was the No. 2 overall pick in last summer’s draft out of Rutgers — played well over the first six games of his NBA career before the injury. He averaged 14 points, four rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, all off the bench.

The Spurs have an 11-5 record coming into Wednesday’s game despite injuries to multiple key players. All-Star forward Victor Wembanyama (calf) and second-year guard Stephon Castle (hip) are out of the lineup against the Trail Blazers.
