2026年6月25日星期四，在圣安东尼奥胜利资本表现中心举行的新闻发布会上，圣安东尼奥马刺队新秀杰登·昆坦斯 (Jayden Quaintance) 与马刺队总经理布赖恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 握手。
马刺队周三宣布，球队新秀前锋昆坦斯已接受手术，以修复其右膝受损的半月板。
现年19岁的昆坦斯在上个月的NBA选秀中被马刺队以首轮第20顺位选中，他在加盟球队前就一直饱受膝伤困扰。
在大一效力于亚利桑那州立大学期间，他曾遭遇前交叉韧带（ACL）撕裂，随后转学至肯塔基大学。上赛季，他因伤仅出场了4次。
在选下这位身高6英尺9英寸、体重253磅的大个子时，马刺队就已经知道他即将接受半月板手术。
“我们做了充分的功课，而且我们拥有一支非常优秀的医疗团队，他们的分析和评估流程非常严谨，”总经理莱特表示，“我们与他的经纪团队进行了沟通，详细了解了他目前的康复进度以及可行的诊疗方案。我们对他目前的身体状况以及长期的预后前景都感到放心。”
马刺队并未提供昆坦斯康复的具体时间表。在等待手术期间，他一直没有随队内的其他新秀一起参加NBA夏季联赛。
昆坦斯表示，在等待自己的NBA生涯正式起航的过程中，他愿意保持耐心。
“他们说，首要任务是确保我百分之百恢复健康，”昆坦斯说道，“所以，我完全信任这里的医疗团队，相信他们会为我提供最好的支持，帮助我走向成功。”

Spurs rookie Jayden Quaintance has knee surgery
San Antonio Spurs rookie Jayden Quaintance shakes hands with Spurs general manager Brian Wright during a news conference at Victory Capital Performance Center in San Antonio, Thursday, June 25, 2026.
Spurs rookie forward Jayden Quaintance underwent surgery to repair meniscus damage in his right knee, the team announced Wednesday.
The 19-year-old Quaintance, whom the Spurs selected with the 20th overall pick in last month’s NBA draft, came to the club with a history of knee issues.
He suffered a torn ACL as a freshman at Arizona State before transferring to Kentucky, where last season he was limited to only four appearances.
The Spurs were aware of the looming meniscus procedure when they drafted the 6-foot-9, 253-pound big man.
“We do our homework and we’ve got a great medical team that’s very thorough in their analysis and process,” general manager Brian Wright said. “We spent time with his representatives going through where he is in his rehabilitation process and what the options are. We got comfortable about what that looks like today and then the long-term prognosis as well.”
The Spurs provided no specific timetable for Quaintance’s recovery. He had not been participating with the rest of the team’s rookie class at NBA Summer League while awaiting surgery.
Quaintance said he was willing to exercise patience while he waits for his NBA career to get off the ground.
“They said their priority is making sure that I’m 100% healthy,” Quaintance said. “So just trusting the medical staff here, that they’re going to be in the best position to be successful.”
