Rui Hachimura was considered a viable option for the San Antonio Spurs prior to Tobias Harris's decision to return to the Detroit Pistons. Sources indicate that Hachimura was among the top targets for the Spurs and Brooklyn ahead of the official start of free agency on July 6, 2026. Once Harris opted for a two-year deal worth $31 million with the Pistons, the Spurs refocused their efforts. As San Antonio adapts its strategy following this development, future moves regarding Hachimura may still remain a possibility.
