What happened

San Antonio visits Phoenix in its second preseason game, and the Spurs may finally use De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper together with Devin Vassell and Victor Wembanyama.

Fox was a late scratch from the opener, and the article says San Antonio is also considering a smaller look with Vassell at power forward while Phoenix remains without Mark Williams and lists Miles Bridges questionable.

LINEUP CONTEXT

This keeps the Spurs' rotation picture open, especially whether the guard-heavy setup is only a preseason experiment. Phoenix's injuries could also change the size and depth of the matchup.
