2025 年 5 月 14 日，星期三，迪伦·哈珀在芝加哥举行的 2025 年 NBA 选秀联合试训上接受媒体采访。作为马刺队在六月选秀大会上的榜眼秀，哈珀于本周三的一次休赛期训练中拇指受伤，并于周五接受了修复手术。马刺队尚未给出他的回归时间表，但预计他将不会出战季前赛。
一直以来，踏上 NBA 赛场对马刺队新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 而言，仿佛是一条命中注定的道路。
作为一位五届 NBA 总冠军得主的儿子，哈珀的篮球之路似乎早已被清晰地铺就。
然而，这段征途在本周五遭遇了第一个重大障碍。哈珀因左手拇指受伤接受了手术，这很可能导致他缺席整个新秀赛季的 NBA 训练营。
现年 19 岁的哈珀，于周三在马刺队训练馆进行休赛期训练时，遭遇了左手拇指副韧带部分撕裂。两天后，他至关重要的投篮手接受了手术，这让他的 NBA 正式首秀充满了不确定性。
球队在一份新闻稿中宣布了哈珀的伤情以及手术成功的消息。
哈珀曾是罗格斯大学的明星球员，也是 NBA 传奇球星罗恩·哈珀 (Ron Harper) 的儿子。去年六月，当马刺队用榜眼签选中他时，他便成为了队史最受期待的新秀之一。
在马刺队史上，只有三名球员的选秀顺位比他更高——他们便是队史三位状元秀：大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson)、蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 和维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)。
作为一名新泽西人，哈珀在罗格斯大学的大一赛季里，出战 19 场比赛，场均得到 19.9 分，随后他决定参加 NBA 选秀。他被公认为本届新秀中的第二号人物，仅次于来自杜克大学的库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg)，后者被达拉斯以状元签选中。
外界过去和现在都期待着哈珀能与文班亚马以及新科 NBA 年度最佳新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 联手，共同组成联盟中最激动人心的年轻核心之一。
现在看来，这对组合的联袂首秀可能要推迟了。
马刺队尚未提供哈珀康复的官方时间表。
据一位熟悉其康复计划的消息人士透露，哈珀不太可能在季前赛中出场。球队尚未排除哈珀及时伤愈、赶上 10 月 22 日客场对阵达拉斯的常规赛揭幕战的可能性，即便无法赶上，预计他的复出也不会等太久。

Spurs’ Dylan Harper suffers thumb injury, to miss training camp
Dylan Harper talks to media at the 2025 NBA basketball Draft Combine in Chicago, Wednesday, May 14, 2025. The Spurs’ No. 2 overall pick in June’s draft, Harper suffered a thumb injury in an offseason workout Wednesday and underwent surgery Friday to repair the injury. The Spurs have offered no timetable for his return, but he is not expected to play in the preseason.
All along, the road to an NBA floor has felt like a predetermined destiny for Spurs rookie Dylan Harper.
As the son of a famous five-time league champion, Harper always had a clear and ever present path set out for himself.
That journey hit its first significant obstacle Friday, as Harper underwent surgery for a left thumb injury likely to keep him out for all of his first NBA training camp.
Harper, 19, suffered a partial tear of the collateral ligament in his left thumb during an offseason workout at the Spurs’ practice facility on Wednesday. Two days later, Harper’s all-important shooting hand went under the knife, putting his official NBA debut in limbo.
The team announced Harper’s injury and successful surgery in a news release.
A former Rutgers standout and son of NBA legend Ron Harper, the 6-foot-6 Harper became one of the most highly anticipated incoming rookies in Spurs history last June when the team selected him No. 2 in the draft.
Only three players in club annals came from a higher draft slot — the team’s all-time trio of No. 1 overall picks in David Robinson, Tim Duncan and Victor Wembanyama.
A New Jersey native, Harper averaged 19.9 points in 19 games as a freshman at Rutgers before entering the NBA draft pool. He graded as the consensus second-best prospect behind Duke’s Cooper Flagg, who went first overall to Dallas.
Harper was, and still is, expected to join Wembanyama and reigning NBA Rookie of Year Stephon Castle as part of one of the most exciting young cores in the league.
The start of that partnership might have to wait.
The Spurs have offered no official timetable for Harper’s recovery.
According a source familiar with the rehabilitation plan, Harper is unlikely to play during the preseason. The team has not ruled out the possibility Harper might be cleared in time for the Oct. 22 regular-season opener at Dallas, if not long thereafter.
