Spurs field three-guard starting five for season opener against Thunder
San Antonio will deploy an unusually guard-heavy lineup when they tip off their new campaign against Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
The San Antonio Spurs will open their new season with a three-guard starting lineup when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, fielding De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper alongside Devin Vassell and Victor Wembanyama.
The decision to start three guards represents a bold tactical choice from San Antonio's coaching staff, placing a heavy emphasis on perimeter playmaking around the towering Wembanyama. Vassell provides the wing presence in what is otherwise a backcourt-loaded unit.
The game marks the first competitive outing for the new-look Spurs, who will be eager to make an early statement against a Thunder side that has emerged as one of the Western Conference's most formidable teams in recent seasons.
