Vassell contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to New York in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Vassell continues to play well on both ends of the floor, providing solid yet modest production. In 14 playoff appearances over the past month, he has averaged 12.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. Having lost both games at home, San Antonio will now head to New York for Games 3 and 4 looking to extend the series beyond four games.

Castle closed with 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 105-104 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Castle was benched down the stretch, although he did return to the court for the final few plays. Despite solid production, Castle's performance was littered with lapses in judgment, primarily on the offensive end. On more than one occasion, he appeared to attack the basket without knowing what he was going to do. Both he and Victor Wembanyama were guilty of making errors, highlighting the fact that San Antonio is significantly outmatched when it comes to experience. Now trailing the series 2-0, Castle and his teammates will be looking to turn things around when the two teams meet again in New York on Monday.

Shamet recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Shamet landed at least three triples for the sixth time in the past seven games, continuing to provide the Knicks with a viable scoring option off the bench. He has now also played at least 28 minutes in three of the past four games, scoring at least 13 points in all four appearances. Now leading the series 2-0, New York will have the opportunity to wrap up the NBA Finals with back-to-back wins on its home court.

Bridges posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 105-104 victory over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Bridges continues to score the ball efficiently, having now shot at least 60 percent from the field in five of his past seven appearances. After what could be considered a disappointing end to the regular season, Bridges has rediscovered his form on both ends of the floor; in nine games over the past month, he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers, shooting 59.1 percent from the floor and 94.1 percent from the line.

Wembanyama finished with 29 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks over 40 minutes during Friday's 105-104 Game 2 loss to the Knicks in the NBA Finals.

It was a tale of two halves for Wembanyama, who was held to just seven points in the first half before erupting for 22 after the break. However, he also committed a team-high four turnovers, and the last one proved costly, as an errant pass ricocheted off Stephon Castle's back with 9.5 seconds remaining in regulation. Still, the Spurs had a chance to pull out the win, but Wembanyama's 20-foot jumper clanked off the rim at the buzzer. The Spurs are now facing a 0-2 deficit with the series heading to New York for Game 3 on Monday.

Towns produced 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 34 minutes during Friday's 105-104 win over the Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Towns did an excellent job picking his spots offensively, scoring efficiently while consistently delivering clutch baskets for the Knicks. He finished as a plus-11 in the one-point victory, helping New York take a commanding 2-0 series lead as the matchup shifts to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on Monday.

Robinson (finger) is available to play in Game 2 of the NBA Finals versus the Spurs on Friday.

Robinson was diagnosed with a fractured metacarpal in his right hand heading into the series. However, despite uncertainty regarding his availability, he was cleared to suit up for Game 1, finishing with two points and six rebounds across 13 minutes. Robinson will presumably carry an injury designation throughout the remainder of the NBA Finals, though he will likely continue playing through the issue assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks along the way.

Robinson (finger) is probable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals versus San Antonio on Friday.

Robinson is expected to play through a fractured right finger Friday, which he also did during New York's Game 1 win. The 28-year-old big man has averaged 5.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 14.1 minutes per contest through 14 games in the 2026 playoffs, shooting 72.5 percent from the field.

Fox had seven points (3-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Fox scored single digits for the third time in his past four games, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of games since returning from an ankle injury. In those six appearances, he has averaged just 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.5 steals. If San Antonio is to wrestle back home-court advantage, Fox is going to have to figure things out in a hurry.

Harper supplied 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Harper was hot early, once again providing San Antonio with a viable offensive threat off the bench. In his past three games, the impressive rookie has averaged 15.3 points and 7.0 rebounds. He continues to build a strong resume and will look to once again play a major role when the two teams meet for Game 2 on Friday.
