Spurs’ new Dylan Harper starting lineup is worth the wait after De’Aaron Fox scratch

San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson announced plans for a new starting lineup featuring Dylan Harper, De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell, and Victor Wembanyama. However, Fox was ruled out of the game after arriving at the arena with post-practice soreness. Julian Champagnie started in Fox's absence, signaling that Champagnie will move to the bench once Fox returns.

Writer Jahlil Williams argues that moving Harper into the starting lineup alongside Castle and Wembanyama creates an exciting future for San Antonio. Williams notes that the young group boasts exceptional athleticism and defensive disruption, though spacing and perimeter shooting will serve as crucial factors for their overall success.
