Misryoum reports Spurs rookie Carter Bryant is listed questionable with a right foot sprain ahead of Game 1 vs. the Timberwolves.
A right foot sprain has put one Spurs player in the spotlight just before Game 1 of the second-round playoffs.
According to Misryoum, San Antonio has listed only Carter Bryant on its injury report ahead of the series opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie forward is marked as questionable due to a right foot sprain.
Bryant is not new to the moment. He appeared in all five games of the Spurs’ first-round series, averaging 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds across roughly nine minutes per game, giving San Antonio an option off the bench and adding depth during the postseason grind.
For the Spurs, the rest of the roster appears ready to go. Misryoum notes that all other players, including Victor Wembanyama, are available for the start of the Timberwolves series, leaving Bryant as the only uncertainty heading into tipoff.
This kind of narrow injury report can matter more than it sounds, because it keeps the rotation clearer while still forcing coaches to make quick decisions if the questionable tag holds.
Meanwhile, the stage is set for Game 1 in San Antonio. Misryoum reports the opener is scheduled for Monday at 9:30 p.m. ET, giving both teams a defined first target in the matchup.
As the playoffs move from series to series, a single sprain can influence matchups, minutes, and game plans. Even without a long injury list, the timing of Bryant’s status can shape how the Spurs attack early and adjust on the fly if his availability changes.
