2025年12月2日，圣安东尼奥，在一场NBA比赛的上半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) (2号) 在孟菲斯灰熊队中锋乔克·兰代尔 (Jock Landale) (31号) 和后卫卡姆·斯潘塞 (Cam Spencer) (24号) 之间突破。
佛罗里达州，奥兰多——当迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在11月26日战胜波特兰开拓者队的比赛中复出并登场16分半钟时，主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 能看出这位新秀已经“精疲力竭”。
由于左小腿拉伤，哈珀在24天内缺席了10场比赛，他需要一些时间来恢复正常的体能水平。尽管哈珀在重回轮换阵容的五场比赛中展现了诸多颇具潜力的闪光表现，但约翰逊表示，他恢复到十足状态的过程仍在继续。

“这确实可能比你想象的要花更长时间。令人惊讶的是，无论你之前处于何等顶级的体能和身体状态，状态下滑的速度都非常快，”约翰逊说道。“这仍然需要时间。他还没准备好上场打30多分钟，而且考虑到我们在攻防两端对他要求的篮球风格，他的能量消耗非常大。他正朝着正确的方向发展和进步，但要真正达到那个水平还需要一些时日。”
哈珀表示，他已经感觉在关键时刻做好了准备且充满信心，在周三圣安东尼奥以114-112战胜奥兰多魔术队的比赛第四节，他贡献了10分、4个篮板和1次抢断。
不过，找回他的比赛体能，仍然是一项正在进行中的工作。
“绝对是这样。我认为这可能是在伤愈复出后面临的最困难的事情，就是恢复体能状态，”哈珀说。“但随着一场场比赛打下来，你能感觉到状态正变得越来越好。”
作为今年的榜眼秀，哈珀在代表马刺队出战的头六场比赛中表现抢眼，作为替补场均贡献14分、4个篮板和3.8次助攻。除去11月2日对阵菲尼克斯太阳队那场因伤提前退赛的比赛，哈珀在最初的这段时间里场均出战26分钟。
复出后的五场比赛中，哈珀场均出战19分钟，得到13.2分、1.8个篮板和3.2次助攻。
“我认为他做得非常棒，”约翰逊说。“能让他重返赛场，并开始建立球队的延续性和进行实战锻炼，这很不错，因为这些是无法真正被模拟的，尽管我们已尽力去尝试了。”

How Spurs’ Dylan Harper is ramping up fitness after return
San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (2) drives between Memphis Grizzlies /center Jock Landale (31) and guard Cam Spencer (24) during the first half of an NBA game in San Antonio, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025.
ORLANDO, Fla. — When Dylan Harper returned to San Antonio’s lineup for 16 ½ minutes in a win at Portland on Nov. 26, coach Mitch Johnson could see the rookie was “fried.”
Having missed 10 games across a 24-day stretch due to a left calf strain, Harper needed some time to regain his normal level of conditioning. And though Harper has shown plenty of promising flashes in his five games back in the rotation, Johnson said the process of returning to full strength is still ongoing.

"It does take probably longer than you think. It’s amazing the fitness level and shape you can be in, and how fast it can go,” Johnson said. “It’s still going to take time. He’s not ready to go play 30-plus minutes, and just the brand of basketball that we’re demanding from him on both ends, it’s a lot of output of energy. He’s trending and growing the right way, but it’s going to take some time to really get there.”
Harper said he already feels prepared and confident in critical moments, scoring 10 points with four rebounds and a steal in the fourth quarter of San Antonio’s 114-112 win at Orlando on Wednesday.
Finding his wind again, though, remains a work in progress.
“Definitely. I think that’s probably the hardest thing getting back after injury, getting in shape,” Harper said. “But game by game, you just feel how much better it’s getting.”
The No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, Harper turned heads in his first six games with the Spurs, averaging 14 points, four rebounds and 3.8 assists off the bench. Removing the matchup against Phoenix on Nov. 2 that was cut short by the injury, Harper averaged 26 minutes per game through that initial stint.
In five games since returning to action, Harper is averaging 19 minutes per game, notching 13.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.
“I think he’s done a great job,” Johnson said. “It’s been good just to get him back on the court and start building the continuity and the on-the-job training, because there’s no way to replicate that, really, even though we try as much as we can.”
