Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Atlanta Hawks

The San Antonio Spurs prepare to open their preseason schedule against the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena. San Antonio enters the matchup following an NBA Finals loss to the New York Knicks, while Atlanta looks to challenge for supremacy in the Eastern Conference.

Head coach Mitch Johnson and the Spurs staff plan to evaluate potential starting combinations and experiment with a three-guard rotation featuring De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama enters his fourth season with the franchise as observers watch for the development of his signature offensive moves.

Both squads expect to manage minutes closely for their core rotations, with several players listed on the injury report. For San Antonio, Jayden Quaintance and Tobias Harris are ruled out due to knee and calf injuries respectively, and David Jones-Garcia is questionable with an ankle issue.

Atlanta's lineup features several questionable players including Aaron Wiggins, Luguentz Dort, CJ McCollum, and Mouhamed Gueye, alongside Henri Veesaar who is unavailable due to a knee injury.
