Spurs Release Two-Way Forward Emanuel Miller

The San Antonio Spurs waived forward Emanuel Miller from his two-way contract, per Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports, in a move tied to their two-way reshuffle after re-signing David Jones-Garcia. Miller most recently played on a two-way deal with Cleveland, averaging 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 33.2 minutes across six G League games with the Cleveland Charge. Before that, he spent two seasons on a two-way contract with Chicago and averaged 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across 34 games with Windy City. The 26-year-old has only 11 NBA appearances, all with the Bulls, so he remains a productive G League player rather than a fantasy option.

Spurs Re-Sign G-League Standout David Jones-Garcia to Two-Way Deal

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward David Jones-Garcia has agreed to a new two-way deal, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, keeping one of last season's top G-League scorers in the organization. Jones Garcia poured in 26.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.8 steals for the Austin Spurs and earned a Rising Stars nod, but he managed just 11 quiet NBA games before right ankle surgery ended his year. Whether he is ready for training camp remains uncertain. Even at full strength, the 24-year-old has no clear path on San Antonio's deep young roster and should spend most of his time in Austin. He is a long-term scoring flier, but his lack of an immediate rotation spot keeps him far off the fantasy radar for now.

Victor Wembanyama Set to Play for France in August

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has been named to France's roster for its August FIBA World Cup 2027 qualifying window, L'Equipe's Maxime Aubin reports. Les Bleus host Slovenia on Aug. 27 in Paris and visit Sweden on Aug. 30 in World Cup qualifying, after a pair of warm-up games against Serbia to open the window. It's a full-circle moment for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, whose blood clot cut short his second NBA season before he stormed back with 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, and a Finals run. His return to the national team confirms a clean bill of health, the reassuring headline for fantasy managers. The only wrinkle is the added summer mileage on a franchise cornerstone heading into a long season.

Jayden Quaintance to Miss Start of 2026-27 Season After Knee Surgery

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jayden Quaintance (knee) will miss the start of the 2026-27 season and isn't expected back until some point in 2027, ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reports. The No. 20 pick underwent successful surgery on his right knee Wednesday to clean up the meniscus, and the team announced no timetable for his return. None of this is a surprise. San Antonio drafted him knowing the procedure was coming after a torn ACL and meniscus at Arizona State in February 2025 left him with four games at Kentucky. Quaintance is off fantasy radars for next season. The developmental runway behind Victor Wembanyama and Luke Kornet now belongs to Tarris Reed Jr., the No. 26 pick, who has it to himself.

Jordan McLaughlin Returns to Spurs on One-Year Deal

San Antonio Spurs guard Jordan McLaughlin has agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million deal to return to the team, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The 30-year-old appeared in 44 games for San Antonio last season, averaging 2.0 points, 0.9 assists, and 0.7 rebounds in 6.4 minutes while shooting 42.5% from three-point range. McLaughlin gives the Spurs veteran point-guard insurance, but his fantasy value is thin behind De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. He would likely need multiple injuries ahead of him to see meaningful usage.

Victor Wembanyama Signs Mega Extension with Spurs

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has signed a massive extension with the organization on Friday. According to Shams Charania, Wembanyama has agreed to a five-year, $252 million contract with the Spurs. Wembanyama could've received an extension worth 30 percent of the Spurs' salary cap. Instead, he takes a deal that saves the Spurs $50 million over the next five years. Wembanyama wanted to make sure the Spurs still have the cap space available to build a team for the future. The 7-foot-4 superstar helped lead the Spurs to the NBA Finals this past season. He's going to be in the MVP conversation for many years to come.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie Bounces Back With 19 Points in Spurs Loss

San Antonio Spurs guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie bounced back Monday, logging 19 points, six assists, two steals, and one rebound across 31 minutes in an 88-84 California Classic Summer League loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He shot 7-for-14 from the field and 5-for-9 from deep after struggling with his shot earlier in San Francisco. The No. 42 pick is on a two-way contract, so his rookie-season fantasy value likely depends on G League development and future injuries. Still, the threes, assists, and steals give him a useful stat profile to track in Las Vegas.

Julian Champagnie Inks New Deal to Stay With San Antonio

The San Antonio Spurs have declined the $3 million team option for Julian Champagnie, only to re-sign the forward to a new three-year, $45 million contract, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The formerly undrafted 25-year-old permanently moved into San Antonio's starting lineup during the regular season and added important spacing around center Victor Wembanyama, knocking down 38.1% of his three-point attempts. That led to career-best marks in points (11.1) and rebounds (5.8). He's also durable, playing all 82 games in back-to-back seasons. Now locked in to a long-term deal, Champagnie figures to continue starting for San Antonio next season.

Jayden Quaintance May Miss Summer League Action

According to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News, San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jayden Quaintance (knee) is uncertain to participate in the Las Vegas Summer League. The 20th overall pick stated the organization is prioritizing his health and could hold him out of exhibition play. The 18-year-old was limited to four games at Kentucky last season due to complications from a previous knee injury. With the Spurs taking a cautious approach to his recovery, he isn't expected to make an immediate impact during his rookie campaign. Victor Wembanyama remains the undisputed engine of the frontcourt, while Luke Kornet and fellow rookie Tarris Reed Jr. are projected to handle the backup minutes inside.

Spurs Stay Committed to De'Aaron Fox as Their Starting Point Guard

San Antonio remains committed to De'Aaron Fox as its franchise point guard, even after a rough playoff series while he dealt with a bad ankle, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. Sources have described Fox as a steadying presence and the team's closer, and one rough series does not appear to have changed that. His four-year, $229 million extension kicks in next season, lifting his salary to roughly $49.8 million. The bigger fantasy thread is the backcourt logjam: Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper all need the ball, and Fox's production settled around 18.6 points and 6.2 assists in a shared setup. Harper's camp is expected to push harder for a starting role after a 24-point, seven-steal playoff game, making last year's No. 2 pick the upside name to track while the Spurs hold firm on Fox.

De'Aaron Fox Falters in Season-Ending Defeat

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox endured a brutal shooting night in Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 loss to the New York Knicks, scoring seven points on 3-for-15 from the field. He added five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer, but he and fellow starter Stephon Castle combined to shoot 4-for-25 as the Spurs fell 4-1 in the Finals. Rookie Dylan Harper outplayed both off the bench with a team-high 25 points, fueling calls to rework San Antonio's backcourt. That is the fantasy concern for next season: Fox remains an elite scorer and playmaker with steals upside, but his cold Finals and the fast-rising Harper and Castle cloud his usage and even his hold on a starting role, all with his four-year max extension set to begin in 2026-27. His talent keeps the floor high, yet the situation is suddenly worth monitoring.

Dylan Harper Closes Finals with Another Strong Line

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper finished Saturday's 94-90 Game 5 loss to the New York Knicks with a team-high 25 points, five rebounds, four assists, one block, and two three-pointers. The rookie shot 10-for-19 from the field and 3-for-5 at the line, giving San Antonio a much-needed offensive lift as its season ended in the NBA Finals. Harper also scored 21 points in Game 4, so he closed the series with back-to-back strong scoring efforts. After averaging 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists during the regular season, his postseason growth should put him on fantasy radars entering his second year.

Victor Wembanyama Rules the Paint in Series-Ending Loss

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama swatted five shots and pulled down 14 rebounds in Saturday's series-ending 94-90 Game 5 loss to the New York Knicks, anchoring the defense even as his offense sputtered. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year scored 19 points on 7-for-19 shooting, adding 4-for-5 at the line, two assists, and one 3-pointer, but the Spurs fell 4-1 in the Finals. The off shooting night was a footnote to a historic first postseason in which the 22-year-old set the single-game playoff blocks record with 12 and rewrote San Antonio's defensive ledger. Wembanyama remains the dynasty crown jewel regardless of the result: a generational source of blocks, rebounds, scoring, and threes whose ceiling is unmatched, and at 22 in his first Finals, his arrow only points up.

Luke Kornet • C • Spurs

Luke Kornet Tagged as Questionable for Game 5

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks. Kornet only played four minutes during Wednesday's loss. It's unclear if that was the plan or if Kornet was limited in that contest because of this illness. If he remains out on Saturday, Carter Bryant would likely be in line for extra playing time. Victor Wembanyama figures to play over 40 minutes in what is an elimination game for the Spurs. Kornet probably wouldn't see much action on the court even if he's cleared to play. The Spurs will lean heavily on Wembanyama as they attempt to battle back from a 3-1 deficit.

Victor Wembanyama One Flagrant Foul Point From Suspension

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama is one flagrant foul point away from an automatic suspension after receiving a Flagrant 1 in Wednesday's 107-106 Game 4 NBA Finals loss to the New York Knicks, according to ESPN's Michael C. Wright. The 22-year-old now has three flagrant points this postseason, putting his Game 5 discipline risk under the spotlight with San Antonio trailing 3-1. Wembanyama still delivered 24 points, 13 rebounds, one assist, and three blocks in 43 minutes, but he shot 9-for-25 from the field and 4-for-7 at the line. Fantasy managers should still expect a massive workload in the elimination game, although one more dangerous-play ruling could abruptly end his postseason availability.

Devin Vassell Bounces Back Wednesday With 18 Points

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell scored 18 points in Wednesday's 107-106 loss in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks. After being limited to 11 points in Game 3, Vassell quickly found his offensive stride again, making three three-pointers in the first quarter. He finished 5-for-8 from outside, going 6-for-9 overall from the field. In 40 minutes of action, Vassell also recorded five rebounds, four assists, and one steal. This was Vassell's highest-scoring outing since Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against Oklahoma City. He's made 48% of his triples in the Finals, and getting Vassell good looks from deep could be a key factor in surviving Saturday's elimination game.

Dylan Harper Continues to Shine for Spurs in Finals

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper had another fantastic performance off the bench in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, finishing a 107-106 loss with 21 points, four rebounds, and three assists. He missed only four of 12 field-goal attempts and went 3-for-6 from deep. Harper turned only 20 in March, but he's playing like an experienced veteran in his first Finals appearance. Through four games, the second-generation NBA player has averaged 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 31.0 minutes per game. It will be interesting to see how Harper copes with the pressure of an elimination game on Saturday night, with San Antonio down 3-1 in the series.

Victor Wembanyama Records Second Finals Double-Double

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama recorded his second double-double in the 2026 NBA Finals on Wednesday, finishing with 24 points and 13 rebounds in a heartbreaking 107-106 loss to the New York Knicks. The Spurs, including Wembanyama, were on fire early and built a 29-point lead. However, their offense collapsed in the second half, allowing the Knicks to mount the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. Wembanyama tallied three blocks but was limited to one assist. He finished 9-for-25 from the field, including 2-for-8 from beyond the arc, and was 4-for-7 at the free-throw line. San Antonio's leader missed a pair of free throws late in the game. To cap off a disappointing night, Wembanyama was assessed a flagrant foul 1, bringing his playoff total to three flagrant points and putting him one away from an automatic suspension.

Jose Alvarado Warns Victor Wembanyama After Game 3 Shove

Knicks reserve guard Jose Alvarado issued a warning to Victor Wembanyama after the Spurs center shoved Jalen Brunson in the back of the head during Monday's Game 3, telling reporters "that'll be the last one," the New York Post reports. Officials missed the first-quarter play, and the NBA is reviewing it for a retroactive flagrant foul after its head of officiating acknowledged a foul was there. That review is the fantasy story. Wembanyama, who poured in 32 points with eight rebounds, six assists, and three blocks in the 115-111 win, already drew a Flagrant-2 ejection earlier this postseason. An upgrade here would leave him one flagrant foul away from an automatic one-game suspension, a live availability risk for DFS managers with the Spurs trailing 2-1 entering Game 4.

De'Aaron Fox Comes Up Clutch in Game 3 Against Knicks

San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox had another frustrating evening on Monday in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, but he made key plays late in the game to help the team earn a 115-111 road win. With 12.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Fox hit a jumper to give San Antonio a five-point lead. A couple of minutes earlier, he had an impressive block on Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns. Fox recorded two blocks in total and snagged one steal. Offensively, he finished the night with 12 points and a game-high eight assists. After his 20-point outburst in Game 2, Fox's scoring contribution was modest due to a 4-for-14 record from the field. He missed all five attempts from three-point range. The two-time All-Star remains a volatile fantasy option in these playoffs.
