What happened: San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson ruled Tobias Harris out for opening night against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 20. Johnson said Harris is ramping up and progressing but still needs more work on the court.

Why it matters: San Antonio opens the 2026-27 season against Oklahoma City. Harris joined San Antonio on a two-year deal in July, making his status an early rotation question.

What to watch: Harris's practice participation ahead of San Antonio's second game will show the next step in his progression.
