The Spurs tried Fox, Castle and Harper together, and what it means for all three

San Antonio started De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper together for the first time in a preseason win over Phoenix, with Devin Vassell and Victor Wembanyama beside them, as Bleacher Report and RotoWire's preseason notes for Yahoo Sports both reported. None of the three played more than 24 minutes, and coach Mitch Johnson has not said whether the lineup will start in the regular season. Tobias Harris, who would otherwise be the obvious fifth starter, missed the preseason with a calf strain and is questionable for the opener against Oklahoma City.

Three guards who each want the ball cannot all keep the roles they would have alone, so the question for fantasy managers is whose line rises and whose falls if Johnson sticks with it. Below is where our projections have each of them now, which already assumes a crowded backcourt, and how a three-guard start would move each one.

Every player in this story is on the fantasy basketball rankings and the 2026-27 projections, and the NBA depth charts show where each one stands in his team’s rotation tonight.
