After a drama-filled Game 5 loss in which star center Victor Wembanyama was ejected, the Spurs-Timberwolves second-round series shifts back to San Antonio, tied 2-2.
Now the Spurs dodged a bullet with Wembanyama avoiding any disciplinary action that would've affected his status for the pivotal Game 5.
However, injury news has circulated that both Spurs' guards, De'Aaron Fox (right ankle soreness) and Dylan Harper (left knee soreness), are questionable for Tuesday's game.

How does the guards' injuries impact the Spurs?!
Fox is expected to be fine, as he was listed on Monday's injury report, but Harper is a late addition, leaving fans with more questions than answers.
The best thing about the injury news to Harper is that the Spurs would still be in a solid spot, considering Stephon Castle will be available, and if Fox can give it a go, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
With that said, there is no doubt that the Spurs would rather have Harper out on the floor, as he has improved his numbers from the regular season, averaging 13 points, four rebounds, and three assists through seven postseason games.
Fox has also had big games in the first two rounds, including a strong fourth-quarter performance in Game 4's loss.
The absence of either Harper or Fox could be costly, as the winner of Game 5, when a series is tied at two games apiece, has an 82 percent chance of winning the series.
Harper was drafted No. 2 overall in last year's draft after the team selected Wembanyama and Castle in the previous two drafts with the first and fourth overall picks.
