2025年10月30日（周四），在圣安东尼奥冰霜银行中心举行的NBA比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊正在与马刺后卫迪伦·哈珀（2号）交谈。
菲尼克斯电 – 一旦马刺冗长的伤病名单被清空，米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 将如何把所有球员捏合成一个整体？对此，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 丝毫不感到担心。
“我们现在阵容深度很足，”这位新秀后卫说道。“我认为他已经把一切都安排得相当不错了。”
哈珀对这位38岁教练的信任并非空穴来风。
在约翰逊使用九人轮换，率领马刺队在周四晚以107-101击败迈阿密热火队后，马刺队（5胜0负）取得了队史最佳开局。他们的进攻效率（118.9）排名联盟第六，防守效率（104.4）高居联盟第一，净效率（+14.5）同样位列第一。而这一切，都是在缺少控球后卫德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)（腿筋）、前锋杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan)（手腕）、前锋/中锋凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk)（脚跟）以及后卫林迪·沃特斯 (Lindy Waters)（眼睛）的情况下取得的。
在赛季前两场比赛中作为明星中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的替补表现出色的卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)（脚踝），在过去三场比赛中也一直因伤作壁上观。
“这恰恰展现了我们的阵容深度，以及我们现在和未来能变得多么可怕，”哈珀说道。“而且，那些家伙们也快回来了。”
但他们何时能回归？约翰逊又将如何安排他们？
“我想我们这几年来已经多次看到并讨论过这个问题了——我们从不会为如何让优秀球员们协同作战而感到担忧或失望，”约翰逊说道。“有些事情需要时间去磨合。我们会解决的，但这可能需要一些时间。我们可能需要一起经历成长的过程。”
尽管马刺队没有为任何伤员提供复出时间表，但有迹象表明，至少其中一些人可能会在这次西部两连客的赛程中回归。马刺的客场之旅将于周日晚对阵菲尼克斯太阳队（2胜4负）开始，并于周三对阵洛杉矶湖人队后结束。
福克斯、索汉、奥利尼克、科内特和沃特斯都参加了周四上午的投篮训练。从训练馆传出的消息称，有几名球员可能会在此次客场之旅中复出，而其他球员则可能在马刺队于11月7日返回冰霜银行中心，迎来对阵休斯顿火箭队和新奥尔良鹈鹕队的背靠背比赛时回归。
2025年10月26日（周日），在圣安东尼奥冰霜银行中心举行的马刺主场揭幕战中，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋杰里米·索汉与后卫德阿龙·福克斯正在观看队友们对阵布鲁克林篮网队。两人均因伤缺阵。
当被问及伤员是否会在这次亚利桑那-加州的客场之旅中复出时，约翰逊回答说：“他们中的一些人，或许吧。”
“他们正在朝着好的方向发展，情况不错，”这位教练说道，并补充说，在对阵太阳队前有两天休息时间，以及在菲尼克斯和洛杉矶的比赛之间又有两天休息时间，这对球队是有利的。
“这样的赛程安排有点特别，”他谈到赛程中的休息日时说。
无论何时福克斯回归，约翰逊都必须决定如何调整目前的控卫轮换。眼下，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 担任首发，哈珀和老将乔丹·麦克劳克林 (Jordan McLaughlin) 则作为他的替补。一个选择是让福克斯首发，继续让哈珀和麦克劳克林从替补席出战，并让卡斯尔改打侧翼球员。
和哈珀一样，卡斯尔也为伤员回归后球队将拥有更强的阵容深度而感到兴奋。
“这当然是我们心里都清楚的，但我们现在必须专注于和现有的队友们并肩作战，”2025年NBA年度最佳新秀卡斯尔说道。“我们知道板凳上那些（受伤的）家伙们肯定能给我们带来巨大的帮助，所以关键是现在要找到赢球的方法，这样等他们回归后，我们才会真正势不可挡。”
前锋凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 对此表示赞同。
“他们是我们球队非常重要的组成部分，但我们仍在设法取胜，”他说道。“我们当然迫不及待地希望他们回归，因为他们无疑会让我们的球队变得完整。但我们必须继续保持专注和努力，不能自满，并继续牢记赢球需要付出什么，决不满足于现状。”
并继续相信他们的教练会解决所有问题。
“米奇一直都非常自信，”后卫德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 说。“他非常沉稳。这太棒了。他正在逐渐树立起自己的权威，并且让我们所有人都保持脚踏实地，所以我很感激他。”
但球队中最年长的球员哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 告诫说，无论发生什么，伤病总会再次出现。考虑到这一点，这位33岁的前锋表示，马刺队只需要活在当下，不要为无法控制的事情担忧。
“但愿伤病别再来了，”他说道。“我们曾经历过那种就差临门一脚，结果却突生变故的情况。所以，让我们享受当下的每一刻。是的，我们有一些球员缺阵。无论何时有人回归，我们都会在那个时候做出新的调整。对我们来说最重要的是，我们不会拿任何事当借口。只要球员健康，他们就会上场。无论谁在场上，我们都会尽最大努力去赢得比赛。”
“我们不希望总是纠结于‘如果这样会怎样’或‘如果那样会怎样’。那会让我们无法享受当下。”

Spurs confident Mitch Johnson will put all the pieces together
San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson talks to San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (2) during the NBA game against the Miami Heat at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025.
PHOENIX – Dylan Harper isn’t fretting one bit about how Mitch Johnson is going to put all the pieces together once the Spurs’ lengthy injury list is wiped clean.
“We got a lot of pieces right now,” the rookie guard said. “I think he’s figured it out pretty well.”
Harper’s faith in the 38-year-old coach is well founded.
The Spurs (5-0) are off to the best start in franchise history after Johnson used a nine-man rotation in guiding the Spurs to a 107-101 win over Miami on Thursday night. They rank sixth in the NBA in offensive rating (118.9), first in defensive rating (104.4) and first in net rating (plus-14.5) and have done it without the services of point guard De’Aaron Fox (hamstring), forward Jeremy Sochan (wrist), forward/center Kelly Olynyk (heel) and guard Lindy Waters (eye).
Luke Kornet (ankle) has also been in street clothes for the last three games after standing out in the first two outings as star center Victor Wembanyama’s backup.
“It just shows our depth, how scary we could be and how scary we are right now,” Harper said. “Plus, we got them guys coming back.”
But when will they return and what will Johnson do with them?
“I think we’ve seen this and discussed this here for a couple of years now – we won’t be concerned or disappointed with trying to figure out how to play good players together,” Johnson said. “Some of this stuff is going to take time. We’ll figure it out. It may take some time. We may have to do some growing together.”
While the Spurs have offered no timetable for the return of any of the injured players, signs point to at least some of them possibly coming back on this two-game trip out west, which starts Sunday night against Phoenix (2-4) and ends Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Fox, Sochan, Olynyk, Kornet and Waters all participated in shootaround Thursday morning. The word coming out of the practice facility was a few players could return on this trip before others return when the Spurs go back to the Frost Bank Center for a back-to-back against Houston and New Orleans beginning Nov. 7.
San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan and San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox watch their teammates take on the Brooklyn Nets in the Spurs’ home opener at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025. Both players sat out due to injuries.
“Some of them, perhaps,” Johnson said when asked if the injured players would return on the Arizona-California trip.
“They’re trending in the right direction, doing well,” said the coach, adding it’s beneficial to have two days off before facing the Suns and then two more days off between the games in Phoenix and Los Angeles.
“It’s a little unique,” he said of the breaks in the schedule.
Whenever Fox returns, Johnson has to decide what to do with a point guard rotation that currently has Stephon Castle starting while being backed up by Harper and veteran Jordan McLaughlin. One option would be to start Fox, continue to bring Harper and McLaughlin off the bench and play Castle as a wing.
Like Harper, Castle is just excited to have an even deeper team when the injured players return.
“It’s definitely in the back of our minds, but we got to work with the guys we have now,” said Castle, the 2025 NBA Rookie of the Year. “We know we have (injured) guys on the bench that are definitely going to help us in a big way, so it’s about just finding ways to win games now so we will really be rolling once they get back.”
Forward Keldon Johnson agreed.
“Those are huge pieces to our team, but we are still finding a way,” he said. “We definitely can’t wait to have those pieces back because they will complete our team for sure, but we got to continue to stay on the grind and don’t get complacent and continue to know what it takes to win and not settle.”
And continue to have faith that their coach will figure it all out.
“Mitch has been super confident,” guard Devin Vassell said. “He’s been super steady. It’s been great. He’s finding his voice and he’s been keeping us all grounded, so I appreciate him.”
But no matter what happens, injuries are going to happen again, counsels the team’s oldest player, Harrison Barnes. With that in mind, the 33-year-old forward said the Spurs just need to live in the present and not worry about things they can’t control.
“Knock on wood," he said. "We’ve been in that situation before where we’re 98 percent there and then something happens. Let’s just enjoy these moments while we’re here. Yes, we have some guys out. Whenever we get one back, we’ll do something new at that point. The biggest thing for us is we’re not going to use anything as an excuse. If guys are healthy, they’ll play. Whoever is out there, we will do our best to win games.
"We don’t always want to be looking at, what about this or what about that? That robs us of enjoying the moment.”
