What happened

San Antonio used De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle together in a three-guard lineup during a preseason win, according to the roundup's ESPN reference. The mention points to the Spurs still experimenting with their perimeter rotation before opening night.

The article gives no minute totals or confirmation that this group will open the season together, so the arrangement should be treated as a preseason trial rather than a set starter group. That leaves the final guard rotation unresolved for now.

LINEUP CONTEXT

This could matter for which guards share the floor in early regular-season lineups, but the piece does not confirm a permanent change. It only shows the Spurs are still testing combinations.
