What happened to Dylan Harper in Game 2?

Spurs’ Dylan Harper exits with right-leg injury

San Antonio’s playoff run took another turn in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals when rookie guard Dylan Harper left the game with a right leg injury. After appearing earlier in the contest, Harper exited during the matchup against Oklahoma City, and Spurs later ruled him out for the remainder of Game 2.

The injury is significant because Harper had been a contributor through San Antonio’s first-round and Game 1 stretch, adding scoring and playmaking in a series where the Spurs were trying to build on momentum. In Game 2, the Spurs already faced multiple absences, and Harper’s early exit further tightened their rotation during a game the Thunder ultimately won 122-113 to even the series.

This matters beyond one night because an uncertain lower-body injury can create a ripple effect for the next games, affecting how San Antonio spreads minutes and who can handle key ball-handling and defensive matchups.

No specific medical diagnosis details beyond the right-leg status were provided in the summaries. What is clear is the operational impact: the Spurs had to adjust immediately once Harper went out, and those adjustments will remain relevant if the injury lingers into later games of the series.

For Oklahoma City, the win put pressure on San Antonio as the series shifts, while for the Spurs, Harper’s condition becomes a central storyline heading into the next matchup.
