洛杉矶电 - 周日晚间，当被问及新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 的受伤是否会加速队内伤病控卫德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 及其他几位病号的回归进程时，马刺主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 给出了斩钉截铁的否定回答。
周二，事实证明了约翰逊在菲尼克斯所言非虚——马刺官方宣布，福克斯（右腿筋拉伤）将缺席周三晚间对阵湖人队的比赛。
“一个人的状态不会影响其他任何人，”在马刺以118-130不敌太阳队后，约翰逊说道。“但球员们已经越来越接近复出，所以我们只需观望接下来几天情况会如何发展。”
显然，情况的发展还不足以让福克斯迎来他的赛季首秀。
马刺同时也将中锋/前锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 列入了伤病名单，他因左脚踝扭伤已缺席过去四场比赛；当然，还有哈珀（左小腿拉伤）。
据一位球队发言人透露，队中其他几位伤员——前锋杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan)（左手腕扭伤）、前锋/中锋凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk)（左脚跟手术）以及后卫林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III)（双眼手术）——则“有机会”在对阵湖人的比赛中上演赛季首秀。
关于这三名球员能否出战的决定，将在周三早上的投篮训练后做出。
周二，在南加州大学的盖伦中心，福克斯、科内特、索汉、奥利尼克和沃特斯均参加了球队训练。
在这些伤员中，目前战绩为5胜1负的马刺队最急需的是福克斯，因为哈珀的受伤让他们的后场阵容更加捉襟见肘；此外还有科内特，他能作为一名优质替补，为维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 争取喘息之机——在赛季前六场比赛中，文班亚马的场均出战时间已接近34分钟。
但文班亚马在马刺效力已久，深知无论事关多重，球队管理层都绝不会催促任何受伤球员提前回到赛场。
“我确信球队会做出明智的决定，我并不指望所有人明天就能马上复出，”这位三年级全明星球员说道。“我为他们的回归感到兴奋，但我的工作不是让他们加速痊愈，也不是去计划他们是否在场。我的职责是做好自己的工作，在场上打出好的表现。”
周一在洛杉矶进行的核磁共振（MRI）检查结果让马刺全队上下都松了一口气，结果确认哈珀并无大碍。他是在菲尼克斯对阵太阳的比赛第二节，于内线防守对方中锋尼克·理查兹 (Nick Richards) 时倒下的。尽管如此，这位榜眼秀仍将无限期缺阵，这对于马刺而言是一个短期打击，因为球队从他在赛季初期攻防两端的稳健表现中受益匪浅。
“他才为我们打了六场比赛，但价值巨大，”文班亚马在谈到哈珀时说。在福克斯缺阵期间，哈珀作为斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 的替补，场均出战23.2分钟，能贡献14.0分、4.0个篮板和3.8次助攻，而卡斯尔在控卫位置上的表现一直很出色。“我们会像应对其他任何球员缺阵时一样，继续努力拼搏，找到解决办法。”
“但确实，迪伦至今为止的表现一直很棒。”

前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 说道：“我们肯定会想念他的。他是我们替补席上的一位重要得分手，场均能得到14、15分。这需要我们做出一些调整，但信奉的是‘下一个人顶上’的信条。我们有随时准备好上场的球员，我们会找到解决办法的。我只为他一切安好、伤情没有更严重而感到高兴。”
和文班亚马一样，尚帕尼也已经习惯了马刺队在处理伤员回归赛场问题上所展现出的极其谨慎的态度。
这位四年级前锋表示，他非常欣赏球队的这种理念。
“最棒的一点是，我们知道他们是我们的坚实后盾，”尚帕尼在谈到马刺的教练组和医疗团队时说。“他们希望我们能长久地打球，并最终为球队保持健康。所以，催促一名球员复出对我们没有任何好处。我们宁愿用现有的阵容去比赛，信任我们替补席上的球员，也不愿强迫一名球员回归，并可能让他冒着加重伤势的风险。”
“在这类事情上，他们把我们照顾得非常好。”

Even with Dylan Harper out, Spurs in no rush to bring injured players
LOS ANGELES - Spurs coach Mitch Johnson answered with an emphatic “no” Sunday night when asked if the injury to rookie guard Dylan Harper would speed up the return of injured point guard De’Aaron Fox and a few of the team’s other ailing players.
On Tuesday, proof came that Johnson meant what he said in Phoenix in the form of the Spurs ruling out Fox (right hamstring strain) for Wednesday night’s game against the Lakers.
“One person’s status won’t affect anybody else’s,” Johnson said following the Spurs’ 130-118 loss to the Suns. “But guys have been getting closer and closer, so we’ll just have to see how it breaks in the next couple days.”
It apparently didn’t break well enough for Fox to make his season debut.
The Spurs also ruled out center/forward Luke Kornet, who has missed the last four games with a sprained left ankle, and, of course, Harper (left calf strain).
The club’s other injured players - forward Jeremy Sochan (left wrist sprain), forward/center Kelly Olynyk (left heel surgery) and guard Lindy Waters III (bilateral eye procedure) - have a “chance” to make their season debuts against the Lakers, a team spokesman said.
A decision will be made on the trio’s status after shootaround Wednesday morning.
Fox, Kornet, Sochan, Olynyk and Waters all participated in practice Tuesday at the University of Southern California’s Galen Center.
Of the four, the Spurs (5-1) are in the most need of Fox after Harper’s injury further depleted their backcourt and Kornet, who would provide a quality backup to help give Victor Wembanyama a breather after he’s averaged nearly 34 minutes through first six games.
But Wembanyama has been with the Spurs long enough to know the organization will never rush an injured player back onto the court no matter what the stakes are.
“I know for sure it will be smart and I am not expecting everybody to be back by tomorrow or anything,” the third-year All-Star said. “I’m excited (for them to return), but my job is not to make them heal quicker or plan for if they are here or not. It’s to do my job and be good on the court.”
The Spurs breathed a collective sigh of relief when an MRI on Monday in Los Angeles confirmed that Harper suffered no serious damage when he went down in the second quarter in Phoenix while attempting to defend Suns center Nick Richards in the paint. Still, the No. 2 overall pick is out indefinitely, a short-term blow for a team that benefited greatly from his solid early play on both ends of the court.
“He’s only been here for six games, but he’s been so valuable,” Wembanyama said of Harper, who was averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 23.2 minutes while backing up Stephon Castle, who has been strong at the point in Fox’s absence. "We’re going to do just like if anybody else was missing, keep playing hard and figure it out.
“But it’s true that Dylan has been good so far.”

Said forward Julian Champaigne, “We’re definitely going to miss him. He’s a big scorer off the bench for us, getting like 14, 15 a game. It will be a little adjustment, but next man up. We’ve got guys who are ready to play. We’ll figure it out. I’m just happy he’s doing great and it’s not something worse.”
Like Wembanyama, Champagnie has come to expect the Spurs exhibiting an extremely cautious approach when it comes to getting injured players back on the court.
It’s a philosophy the fourth-year forward said he appreciates.
“The best part is we know they have our back,” Champagnie said of Spurs’ coaching and medical staffs. "They want us to play basketball for a long time and be healthy for the team ultimately. So, rushing a guy to come back to play, it is not going to do us no good. We’d rather go out there with what we have and trust what we have on the bench than force a guy to come back and potentially hurt himself some more.
“They take care of us real well with that kind of stuff.”
