If he's ready to go, why not just play him tonight tbh..?

probably cause it's a back to back and easier to add him to the line up playing against a bad Pelicans team.

Better to bring him back against a soft matchup rather than letting him get dogged by Amen Thompson all night. Great news though

 

[dn0774]

Totally understand not throwing him out there against Amen Thompson in his season debut.

Cause he isn’t ready to go?

He is though. Hence why he's been a full participant in 5-on-5 scrimmages. You think he's not ready to go but they've somehow predetermined that he's going to be ready to go in 24 hours..?

As posters above have mentioned, they likely just want him coming back against a bad Pelicans team rather than a good one with an elite perimeter defender like Amen.

Yeah I'd rather him get his feet wet against an actual playoff-caliber opponent to really get an idea of what this team is capable of, but whatever...not going to complain. Just happy to hear that he's returning because I was starting to worry he was dead tbh

Now just need Kornet to come back too and we should be cooking.

Just glad this fucking nightmare without him is coming to an end

Wait until he plays the one game against the Pelicans and then misses the next two for "hamstring recovery management" or some shit

 

[poopbox]

People saying "an easy game against the Pelicans" but it took us until overtime to beat them and we would have lost if not for Harper carrying the team while Victor was on the bench.

Don't you put this voodoo out there

 

[rjv]

he was either going to play tonight and not tomorrow or the other way around. the funny thing is that he came back within the 1st week of November which is pretty much what was reported back at the start of training camp.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Great after I was just complaining about this today lol.

 

[benefactor]

Great news tbh. And I agree with not bringing him back against the Rockets.

tbf if Wemby plays like Wemby its not a punt, more a 50/50 game.

Shams report suggest that Harper may be back sooner than later

Nice - thanks for sharing. That does make it sound like the Spurs aren't expecting to be without Harper for a month+ or anything...would be great news if true.

Because that’s not who we are

 

[NASpurs]

The real question is: can he wipe his own ass yet?
