Spurs Rookie Dylan Harper Undergoes Thumb Surgery, Season Opener Still Possible

San Antonio Spurs' No. 2 overall draft pick, Dylan Harper, has undergone surgery to repair a partially torn collateral ligament in his left thumb. The injury, sustained during the offseason, required immediate surgical intervention. Despite the procedure, there is optimism that the promising rookie guard might recover in time to make his highly anticipated NBA debut for the Spurs' season opener, scheduled for October 22. The team will closely monitor his rehabilitation process and progress, hoping for a swift and full recovery to integrate him into the lineup as planned.
