拉斯维加斯——迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 想上场。马刺队的教练们也希望他能上场。而ESPN则 非常 希望他能上场。
但谈到上月选秀的榜眼秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 周六对阵状元秀库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg) 和达拉斯独行侠队的比赛出场状况，马刺队将其决定权交给了他们的医疗团队。
“我们会保持乐观，但我已经说过几次了，长远考量更为重要，”马刺队助理教练迈克·诺伊斯 (Mike Noyes) 在马刺队周四晚间以111-70大胜费城，球队拉斯维加斯夏季联赛的揭幕战结束后说道。
“我们不会冒任何风险。如果存在哪怕一点点风险，我们都会谨慎行事。但他想上场，我们也希望他上场。所以，我们明天会看看他的情况。”
马刺队在7月4日启程前往加州精英赛之前宣布，这位来自罗格斯大学的19岁后卫由于轻微的腹股沟问题将不会在旧金山参赛，因此他错过了在湾区的所有三场比赛。当马刺队对阵76人队时，他再次在板凳席上为队友们加油助威。
当马刺队宣布哈珀缺席周四的比赛时，一位工作人员表示，球队预计他将在周六对阵独行侠队的比赛中做好准备，但诺伊斯指出，医疗团队尚未完全批准他上场。
ESPN计划在托马斯-马克中心 (Thomas & Mack Center) 向全国电视观众转播这场下午3点的比赛。
一个积极的迹象是：哈珀一直与夏季联赛马刺队进行规律性训练，包括周四上午在球队酒店参加了一次战术演练。
“他看起来状态不错，”诺伊斯说。
老将们为年轻球员提供支持
周四晚间，马刺队的年轻球员们在前排座位上有一些重要的球迷为他们加油助威。
全明星中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和其他几位马刺老将，包括哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)、朱利安·尚帕涅 (Julian Champagnie)、迪阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)、杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 和德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 都出席了在托马斯-马克中心 (Thomas & Mack Center) 的比赛，这令诺伊斯感到非常高兴。
“我们的正式名单球员能来这里真是太棒了，”诺伊斯说。“感谢他们坚持到最后并支持我们。这对球员和工作人员来说意义重大。”
几位老将在中场休息时与马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson)、新近聘请的助理教练肖恩·斯威尼 (Sean Sweeney) 和助理教练马特·尼尔森 (Matt Nielsen) 进行了交流。
前全明星球员助力夏季联赛马刺队执教
前NBA球星拉沙德·刘易斯 (Rashard Lewis) 是夏季联赛期间协助诺伊斯的五位客座教练之一。
45岁的刘易斯职业生涯长达16年，从1998年到2014年，他作为一名身高6英尺10英寸的前锋征战联盟。这位毕业于休斯顿阿利夫·埃尔西克高中 (Alief Elsik High) 的球员，在作为西雅图超音速队 (Seattle SuperSonics) 的二轮秀进入NBA后，曾两次入选全明星。
刘易斯在西雅图度过了他职业生涯的前九个赛季，出战1049场常规赛，其中842场首发，场均贡献14.9分、5.2个篮板和1.7次助攻。他是迈阿密热火队 (Miami Heat) 的一员，该队在2013年NBA总决赛中通过七场大战击败马刺队夺冠；他也是2013-14赛季热火队的一员，该队在总决赛中五场不敌马刺队。
他也曾效力于奥兰多和华盛顿。
“这太棒了，”马刺队新秀前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 谈到刘易斯在夏季联赛的出现时说。“我从小就看他打球，所以他能成为我一个可以持续依靠的资源，这对我来说非常棒。”

LAS VEGAS – Dylan Harper wants to play. The Spurs coaches want him to play. And ESPN really wants him to play.
But when it comes to the status of the No. 2 overall pick of last month’s draft for Saturday’s game against No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs are leaving it up to their medical staff.
“We’re going to remain optimistic, but I’ve said this a few times, long-term thinking prevails,” Spurs assistant coach Mike Noyes said after the Spurs’ 111-70 demolition of Philadelphia on Thursday night in the team’s Las Vegas Summer League opener.
“We’re not going to assume any risk. If there’s any risk at all, we’re going to be a little cautious. But he wants to play. We want him to play. So we’ll see how he does tomorrow.”
The Spurs announced before they left for the California Classic on July 4 that the 19-year-old guard from Rutgers would not play in San Francisco due to a minor groin issue, so he missed all three of the games in the Bay Area. He was on the bench cheering his teammates on again when the Spurs faced the 76ers.
When the Spurs ruled Harper out for Thursday’s game, a staffer said the club expected him to be ready to go Saturday against the Mavericks, but Noyes indicated the medical staff hasn’t fully cleared him yet.
ESPN is scheduled to broadcast the 3 p.m. game at Thomas & Mack Center to a national television audience.
One positive sign: Harper has been working out regularly with Summer Spurs, including participating in a walk-through at the team’s hotel Thursday morning.
“He looks good,” Noyes said.
Veterans show support for young players
The young Spurs had some prominent fans cheering them on Thursday night from front-row seats.
All-Star center Victor Wembanyama and several other Spurs veterans, including Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagnie, De’Aaron Fox, Keldon Johnson, Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell were in attendance at Thomas & Mack Center much to the delight of Noyes.
“It was great for our roster guys to be here,” Noyes said. “Appreciate them staying until the end and supporting us. That does mean a lot to the guys and to the staff.”
Several of the veterans visited with Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, recently hired assistant coach Sean Sweeney and assistant coach Matt Nielsen at halftime.
Former All-Star helping coach Summer Spurs
Former NBA star Rashard Lewis is one of five guest coaches assisting Noyes during Summer League.
Lewis, 45, played 16 years as a 6-foot-10 forward from 1998 through 2014. The graduate of Alief Elsik High in Houston was a two-time All-Star after entering the NBA as a second-round pick by the Seattle SuperSonics.
Lewis, who spent his first nine seasons in Seattle, posted career averages of 14.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 1,049 regular season games, with 842 starts. He was a member of the Miami Heat team that beat the Spurs in seven games to win the 2013 NBA title and the 2013-14 Heat squad that lost in the Finals to the Spurs in five games.
He also had stints with Orlando and Washington.
“It’s been amazing,” Spurs rookie forward Carter Bryant said of Lewis’ presence at Summer League. “I got to watch him play growing up, so for him to be another resource that I can have on a consistent basis is something that’s great for me.”
