PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) \u2014 San Antonio Spurs rookie Dylan Harper is active for Wednesday\u2019s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after missing 3 1\/2 weeks because of a left calf injury.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-6 Harper \u2014 who was the No. 2 overall pick in last summer\u2019s draft<\/a> out of Rutgers \u2014 played well over the first six games of his NBA career before the injury. He averaged 14 points, four rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, all off the bench. <\/p>\n

He was hurt on Nov. 2 in a game against the Phoenix Suns<\/a>, limping off the court after trying to swat away a pass while playing defense.<\/p>\n

The Spurs have an 11-5 record coming into Wednesday\u2019s game despite injuries to multiple key players. All-Star forward Victor Wembanyama (calf) and second-year guard Stephon Castle (hip) are out of the lineup against the Trail Blazers.<\/p>\n
