- At Spurs Media Day, Harper said he is “totally fine” with coming off the bench if needed.
- A separate report says all the comments from the day pointed to Harper starting this season, even though the expectation had been that he would come off the bench again in year two.
- Another Spurs piece went further, saying it seems Harper will start alongside Fox, Castle, Wembanyama, and one of Harris, Champagnie, or Vassell.
- The cleanest read is also the simplest one: Harper has gone from rejecting the bench idea outright to saying he would be fine with it if needed, while the Spurs’ own lineup discussion has moved him closer to a starting assignment.
