Spurs Debut Three-Guard Lineup in Preseason Win

San Antonio plans to start De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper together in a three-guard lineup alongside Devin Vassell and Victor Wembanyama, with coach Mitch Johnson also indicating he expects to use the group in the team’s next games. The combination made its preseason debut against Phoenix, showing promise after a slow start; Johnson said integrating the trio is a natural progression that will take time. Harper’s emergence and desire for a larger role have added urgency to finding minutes for the Spurs’ three talented guards. Fox has said the group’s effectiveness will depend in part on making shots, which can open space for drives and create easier opportunities for teammates.
