2026年1月15日，星期四，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋哈里森·巴恩斯 (40) 在圣安东尼奥霜冻银行中心对阵密尔沃基雄鹿队的赛前热身中向队友示意。
对于德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 来说，那种异样的感觉始于周二赛前的上篮热身环节，这种感觉在开场跳球后一直延续到了第一次官方暂停。
当时马刺队球员正身处费城的 Xfinity Mobile 球馆，进行一场 NBA 常规赛。
然而，哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 却不在场上。
“当我们到达这里时，我并不知道他不会上场，”瓦塞尔说道，“然后你发现他不在，这确实让人很不习惯。”
在午睡醒来后，巴恩斯感到左脚踝肿胀。这是自2021年12月4日以来，这位老将前锋第一次需要休战。
巴恩斯在更衣室观看了比赛，最终马刺队以131-91大胜费城76人队，为他们为期九场的“牛仔竞技客场之旅”画上了句号。
对于33岁的巴恩斯来说，这意味着他连续出战364场比赛的纪录宣告终结，这是此前 NBA 现役球员中第二长的“铁人”纪录。纽约尼克斯队的米卡尔·布里奇斯 (Mikal Bridges) 以连续出战616场保持着现役最长纪录。
“他完成了一段了不起的历程，”主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在谈到巴恩斯时表示，“我相信他很快就会开启一段新的纪录。”
随着巴恩斯缺席周二的比赛，马刺前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 以连续出战163场成为联盟现役第二长纪录的新拥有者。
目前尚不清楚巴恩斯能否在周四马刺队回到主场对阵底特律活塞队的比赛中复出。
本赛季早些时候，巴恩斯转型为替补角色，从而终结了长达十年、连续775场首发的纪录。
在周二的比赛前，约翰逊赞扬了巴恩斯在他那已终结的纪录期间所展现出的耐用性。
“这说明了他在赛前所做的准备工作，”约翰逊说道，“也说明了他在赛后投入的身体恢复和保养过程。他是一名完美的职业球员典范。”
即便如此，巴恩斯的队友们对于他的纪录终结仍感到遗憾。
“我告诉HB（巴恩斯的昵称），为了那个纪录，你就上去打一个回合再赶快换下来也行啊，”后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 说道，“我们都清楚，如果他身体允许上场，他绝对会坚持上场的。”
新秀充分利用增加的出场机会
巴恩斯缺阵的最大受益者是新秀前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)，他填补了约翰逊轮换阵容中新出现的空缺。自全明星周末以来，布莱恩特的使用率一直不高，在周四之前的七场比赛中，他有四次出场时间仅为个位数。
这位来自亚利桑那大学的球员在费城充分把握住了这次增加的机会，在26分钟内得到11分并抓下9个篮板。布莱恩特还投中了三记三分球。
“比赛初期，他还在试着摸索比赛的感觉，这对于他和他职业生涯的现阶段来说并不是件好事，”约翰逊说道，“但那之后，我认为这是他打得最好的一场比赛。”
普拉姆利的马刺首秀仍需等待
尽管已经签署了留队至赛季结束的合同，替补中锋梅森·普拉姆利 (Mason Plumlee) 在周二连续第六场进入伤病名单。
目前尚不确定这位35岁的篮坛老将何时能进入激活名单。普拉姆利在去年12月效力于夏洛特黄蜂队期间接受了腹股沟手术，目前仍处于恢复全面篮球活动的阶段。
“我认为我们已经接近复出了，”约翰逊说道，“我们会继续观察他的每日情况。他不会一上来就打28分钟。他需要达到一定的舒适度、节奏感，并理解我们的战术要求。我们不想让他陷入不利的境地。”
普拉姆利最初于2月17日与球队签下了一份10天合同，目前他尚未代表马刺队出场过。

Spurs salute Harrison Barnes’ now-defunct iron man streak
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (40) signals to a teammate while warming up for the game against the Milwaukee Bucks at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026.
For Devin Vassell, the funny feeling began in the pregame layup line Tuesday, continued after the opening tipoff and into the first timeout.
The Spurs were on the floor at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, playing an NBA basketball game.
And Harrison Barnes was not.
“When we got here, I didn’t know he wasn’t going to play,” Vassell said. “Then you don’t see him. Definitely not used to it.”
After waking up from his afternoon nap, Barnes reported swelling in his left ankle. For the first time since Dec. 4, 2021, the veteran forward needed a night off.
Barnes watched from the locker room as the Spurs completed their nine-game rodeo road trip with a 131-91 dismantling of the 76ers.
For the 33-year-old Barnes, it meant the end of the NBA’s second-longest active iron man streak at 364 consecutive games. New York’s Mikal Bridges owns the longest at 616.
“It was a heck of a run that he had,” coach Mitch Johnson said of Barnes. “I’m sure he’ll start a new streak pretty soon.”
With Barnes missing Tuesday’s game, Spurs forward Julian Champagnie became the new owner of the league’s second-longest streak with 163 games played.
It is unclear if Barnes will be available when the Spurs return home to face Detroit on Thursday.
Earlier this season, Barnes moved into a bench role, snapping a string of 775 consecutive starts that spanned a decade.
Before Tuesday’s game, Johnson saluted Barnes for his durability during his now-defunct streak.
“It speaks to the preparation that he does before he goes into the game,” Johnson said. “It speaks to the recovery and the process he puts in after the game. He’s a consummate pro.”
Even so, Barnes’ teammates were disappointed to see his streak end.
“I told HB, just sub in and sub out real quick for that record,” guard Dylan Harper said. “We all know if he could have played, he would have played.”
Rookie makes most of added opportunity
The biggest beneficiary of Barnes’ absence was rookie forward Carter Bryant, who filled the newfound opening in Johnson’s rotation. Bryant had been used sparingly since the All-Star break, logging single-digit minutes in four of seven appearances leading to Thursday.
The Arizona product made hay of his increased opportunity in Philadelphia, scoring 11 points and grabbing nine rebounds in 26 minutes. Bryant also swished three 3-pointers.
“Early on he was trying to feel his way into the game, which is not going to be good for him and this stage of his career,” Johnson said. “After that, I thought it was the best game he’s had.”
Plumlee’s Spurs debut still on hold
Having signed a deal that would keep him with the Spurs through the end of the season, backup center Mason Plumlee was inactive for the sixth consecutive game Tuesday.
It is uncertain when the 35-year-old journeyman will be ready to join the active list. Plumlee is still ramping up to full basketball activity after undergoing groin surgery in December as a member of the Charlotte Hornets.
“I think we’re getting there,” Johnson said. “We’ll continue to take it day-by-day. He’s not going to show up and play 28 minutes. There’s a certain level of comfortability and rhythm and knowledge of what we want to do (he needs). We don’t want to put him in a bad place.”
Initially inked to a 10-day contract Feb. 17, Plumlee has yet to appear in a game for the Spurs.
