Spurs likely to part ways with Harrison Barnes after Finals loss

San Antonio Spurs are predicted to release veteran forward Harrison Barnes following a loss to the New York Knicks in the 2026 NBA Finals. The Spurs fell in five games, showcasing both talent and inexperience. Barnes, 34, had a reduced role, averaging just 17 minutes in the Finals after a regular season where he averaged nearly 26 minutes and 9.9 points. With a potential focus on younger talent, San Antonio may seek to save salary cap space by moving on from older players like Barnes.
