马刺队发言人称，球队后卫林迪·沃特斯三世因即将接受一项小型激光手术，以解决一个持续存在的眼部问题，将缺席周五晚对阵印第安纳的季前赛收官战、10月22日客场对阵达拉斯的赛季揭幕战以及此后的数场比赛。
这一眼部问题是在一次例行体检中被发现的。
“我们希望他能在万圣节后回归，”该发言人说道。
如果按照这个时间表，沃特斯将缺席赛季初的前五场比赛，但有望在球队前往菲尼克斯对阵太阳队以及洛杉矶挑战湖人队的客场之旅中复出。
参加了此前全部四场季前赛的沃特斯，是马刺队自九月底训练营开始以来，第三位确定将缺席揭幕战的球员。
在马刺对阵独行侠的比赛中，后卫德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)（腿筋伤势）和前锋杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan)（手腕伤势）也将作壁上观。
马刺在休赛期与沃特斯签下了一份为期一年的合同。这位拥有四年经验的老将上赛季为金州勇士队出战38场比赛，其中9场首发，在场均17.2分钟的上场时间里，能够贡献5.5分、2.5个篮板和1.1次助攻。随后，他被勇士队交易至底特律，并为活塞队出场14次。

Spurs rule out yet another player for season opener

Spurs guard Lindy Waters III will miss Friday night’s preseason finale against Indiana, the season opener at Dallas on Oct. 22 and a few others games due to an upcoming minor laser procedure to correct a lingering eye issue, a team spokesman said.
The eye problem was caught during a routine physical.
“We hope to have him back after Halloween,” the spokesman said.
If that timetable holds true, Waters will miss the first five games but return for the trip to Phoenix to play the Suns and Los Angeles to face the Lakers.
Waters, who played in the first four preseason games, is the third player the Spurs have ruled out for the opener since training camp started in late September.
Guard De’Aaron Fox (hamstring) and forward Jeremy Sochan (wrist) also will be sidelined when the Spurs face the Mavericks.
The Spurs signed Waters to a one-year deal in the offseason. The four-year veteran played 38 games for the Golden State last season, including nine starts, and averaged 5.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 17.2 minutes per night before the Warriors traded him to Detroit, where he appeared in 14 games for the Pistons.
