Harper Still In Walking Boot
Rookie guard Dylan Harper did not make the trip with the Spurs to Chicago, instead remaining in San Antonio to rehab from a left calf strain.
Harper has been in a walking boot since suffering the injury Nov. 2 at Phoenix and has not been participating in any on-court activities. Johnson said before Monday’s game he hoped to receive an update on Harper’s progress after the team returned from Chicago.
Headache fells Vassell
Starting shooting guard Devin Vassell exited Monday’s contest after 5:23 of the second half with a migraine and did not return.
Johnson said he did not think the condition would affect Vassell going forward.
“He’s fine now,” Johnson said after the game. “He tried to come up and say he’s feeling better. I didn’t get the thumbs up from the medical staff (to put him back in) but he’s fine.”
