Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Production declines in 2025-26
Rotowire
Barnes finished the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 25.8 minute per game across 77 regular-season appearances (52 starts).
Barnes didn't see the floor in any of the final three games of the Finals after logging 17 total minutes in the first two outings of the series. The veteran forward was a regular in the starting lineup to begin the regular season but started only three games after the All-Star break. The 34-year-old is set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason.
Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Increased role in Game 4 win
Rotowire
Barnes finished with five points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Sunday's 103-82 win over the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
Barnes logged at least 15 minutes for just the second time in the postseason, providing San Antonio with some additional size, particularly on the defensive end. In six postseason games over the past two weeks, Barnes has averaged just 2.2 points in 8.0 minutes. Given the fact that Sunday's result was a favorable one for the Spurs, it will be interesting to see whether Barnes once again plays meaningful minutes off the bench in Game 5 on Tuesday.
Spurs' Harrison Barnes: Drops 12 points in blowout win
Rotowire
Barnes finished Wednesday's 133-95 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 15 minutes.
Barnes scored in double digits for the first time in the postseason, playing a handful of additional minutes as the game descended into garbage time. Prior to Wednesday, Barnes had scored a total of 13 points in six appearances, playing a muted role off the bench. Assuming Game 3 is a little more competitive, expect to see Barnes' playing time back in single digits.
Barnes (shoulder) will be available for Friday's Game 3 against Portland, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Barnes exited Tuesday's 106-103 Game 2 loss to the Trail Blazers in the fourth quarter and did not return due to an apparent left wrist injury, but coach Mitch Johnson clarified that it's Barnes' shoulder that is the issue. The forward practiced Thursday, however, and he intends to play through the issue.
Barnes exited Tuesday's 106-103 Game 2 loss to the Trail Blazers in the fourth quarter and did not return due to an apparent left wrist injury, finishing with four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 15 minutes.
Barnes headed back to the locker room in the fourth quarter after Deni Avdija collided with his left wrist. Barnes eventually returned to the bench, though it's unclear if he was available to check back in. The veteran forward's next chance to play will come in Game 3 in Portland on Friday.

Rotowire
Barnes produced two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 22 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 win over the Hornets.

Following a serviceable start to the season, Barnes has offered very little over the past two months. In 22 games during that time, he has been outside the top 270 in standard leagues, averaging just 8.3 points and 1.7 three-pointers in 22.9 minutes per game.
