Spurs-Kings injury report: Tobias Harris, Keegan Murray, and more to know before tip

A six-game win streak and a 1-7 opponent means the only thing worth sweating tonight is who doesn't walk out of the tunnel. The Spurs (6-2) visit the Sacramento Kings (1-7) at Golden 1 Center at 9:00 p.m. CT, and it's an NBA Cup group game, so it counts for something beyond the standings.

The Cup runs on Fridays from October 30 through November 27, with two extra "Cup Nights" on November 24 and 25. The Spurs are in West Group C with the Lakers, Trail Blazers, Warriors, and Kings. The quarterfinals are December 4-5, the semifinals are December 8 and/or 9, and the championship is December 11 in Indianapolis.

Every group game matters, so here's who's available.

Spurs injury report

Maliq Brown - Out (G League - Two-Way)
Ja’Kobi Gillespie - Out (G League - Two-Way)
Tobias Harris - Out (Left calf)
Jayden Quaintance - Out (Right knee)

Kings injury report

Keegan Murray - Out (Left ankle capsulitis)
Sean Pedulla - Out (G League - Two-Way)
Maxime Raynaud - Out (Right patella subluxation)
Ben Simmons - Out (Right Achilles tendon repair / surgery)

Murray and Simmons were on the last report, too. Dylan Cardwell is the one name that came off it. The Kings are thin, and they already weren't expected to be a good team coming into the season. That should equal pain for Sacramento, as usual.

Spurs have handled the Kings since the De'Aaron Fox trade

The Silver and Black are 4-1 against SAC in the five meetings since Fox came to San Antonio. The most recent one was about as comfortable as it gets. The Spurs won 130-103 on October 27 at the Frost Bank Center. They scored 80 in the first half of that game and led by as many as 28.

Victor Wembanyama had 29 points, 10 rebounds, and five blocks. Julian Champagnie went 8-13 from three for 26, and the Spurs shot 17-37 (45.9%) from deep as a team. Domantas Sabonis had 20 points, 14 boards, and eight assists for the Kings, and De'Andre Hunter (24) and Zach LaVine (22) did their scoring, but the box score never got close.

The Kings' only win this season came on November 2 at Dallas, 115-100. They followed it up with a 116-103 home loss to the Lakers on Wednesday. Sacramento isn't the most dynamic team offensively, only scoring 109.3 points per game, while allowing 120-plus in six of their eight contests.

Sabonis is the one thing that truly works for them, but overall, this just isn't a very good team.

Wembanyama has been doing his part and now the Spurs need threes to fall

The Spurs are scoring 116.9 and allowing 108.6 for a plus-8.3 margin. This team has won six in a row since opening the 2026-27 campaign 0-2. Wemby is averaging 29 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks after his 52-point, 24-rebound, eight-block outing against Dallas a couple of nights ago.

San Antonio is doing several things right, but that three-ball isn't falling like it should. They're shooting 32.2% on about 36 attempts a game, which is right around what Sacramento shoots. Wemby's greatness, their defense, and a weak schedule have covered for that, but the tide needs to turn.

The Silver and Black shot well against this team a week and a half ago; the hope is that they do it again, and this time, it propels their consistency. Spurs Nation will want to see a blowout by halftime and Wemby on the bench in the fourth quarter. The guys prepare for a back-to-back in Portland on Saturday night. But first and foremost, we want to see some threes drop.
