2026年5月4日周一，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)（中）在弗罗斯特银行中心进行的西部半决赛对阵明尼苏达森林狼队的首战上半场，在替补席上与队友后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 交流。布莱恩特因伤缺阵。
马刺新秀前锋卡特·布莱恩特因右脚扭伤缺席了周一晚上102-104负于明尼苏达的比赛。
马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，布莱恩特是在上周的训练中受伤的。
“乐观估计这不会是一个长期伤病，”约翰逊在首战赛前谈到这位14号秀的伤势时说道。
“应该不会缺阵太久，”布莱恩特在赛前告诉《圣安东尼奥新闻快报》。
当布莱恩特在替补席观战时，同届新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 再次打出强劲表现，在29分钟内贡献18分、4个篮板和4次助攻。
这位榜眼秀在过去的五场季后赛中有四场得分上双，其中包括在对阵波特兰的第三场比赛中，在维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 因脑震荡缺阵的情况下，砍下27分率队以120-108取胜。
“我认为他表现得非常棒，”约翰逊在周一的比赛后评价哈珀时说道，“我觉得他以正确的心态踏入了季后赛，而他的表现也证明了这一点。”

约翰逊在最后5分45秒的关键时刻将哈珀留在场上。
“感觉很棒，”这位罗格斯大学校友在谈到在关键时刻上场时说道，“那是每个人都渴望参与的时刻。我很幸运约翰逊教练对我如此信任，让我在最后几分钟留在场上。这真的是一种眷顾。”
马刺前锋凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 对哈珀作为一名新秀所展现出的冷静赞不绝口。
“这绝对不是每天都能见到的，”他说道，“在我看来，他的冷静、技术和稳定性都是无可比拟的。看到他如此年轻（20岁），拥有如此巨大的潜力，在仍有很大进步空间的同时，还能像现在这样影响和掌控比赛，并在场上扮演指挥官的角色，这太不寻常了。
“我很高兴能和他并肩作战。”

Will the Spurs’ Carter Bryant return for Game 2?
San Antonio Spurs forward Carter Bryant, center, talks to his teammate guard Stephon Castle on the bench during the first half of Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Monday, May 4, 2026. Bryant sat out due to injury.
Spurs rookie forward Carter Bryant sat out Monday night’s 104-102 loss to Minnesota with sprained right foot.
Bryant suffered the injury last week in practice, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said.
“Optimistic that it won’t be longer term,” Johnson said before Game 1 of the 14th overall pick’s injury.
“Shouldn’t be long,” Bryant told the San Antonio Express-News before the game.
While Bryant watched the game from the bench, fellow rookie Dylan Harper put together another strong outing, finishing with 18 points, four rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes.
The No. 2 overall pick has scored in double figures in four of his last five postseason games, including pumping in 27 points in a 120-108 in Game 3 at Portland while a concussion sidelined Victor Wembanyama.
“I thought he was great,” Johnson said of Harper after Monday’s game. “I thought he walked into the playoffs with the appropriate approach and I think his performances have followed that.”

Johnson had Harper in the game for the final 5:45.
“It was great,” the Rutgers alumnus said of playing in crunch time. “That’s something that everyone wants to play in. I’m fortunate coach Johnson has that trust in me to go out there for the last few minutes. It’s just a blessing really.”
Spurs forward Keldon Johnson raved about the composure Harper has as a rookie.
“It’s definitely not something you see every day,” he said. "His composure, his skills, his consistency have been unmatched in my opinion. To see how young he is (20), the potential he has and how much room he still has to grow while still being able to affect and control the game the way he does and be a general out there, it’s not normal.
“I’m glad to be on his side.”
