The Spurs introduced their opening night time roster. After ending preseason they awarded Riley Minix their final two-way spot and waived Malachi Flynn, Brandon Boston Jr. and Jamaree Bouyea to get their roster to fifteen common contracts and three two-way offers.
There have been no massive surprises. Minix arguably carried out the very best out of all of the gamers on coaching camp offers and his dimension and capturing capacity made him the only option to affix David Duke Jr. and Harrison Ingram as a two-way participant. He’ll doubtless spend most of his time within the G League. After making the choice, the Spurs waived Flynn, Bouyea and Boston Jr. to get to the roster restrict earlier than the beginning of the common season. They’re all now unrestricted free brokers.
The choice to waive Bouyea after signing him solely a day prior might sound unusual however the thought behind the transfer was to maintain him in Austin. Bouyea, who performed an enormous position in Summer time League however was waived earlier than coaching camp began, returned on an offseason deal earlier than being reduce once more hours later. The Austin Spurs have the rights to the veteran guard and since he was on an Exhibit 10 deal, he can now earn a bonus if he spends 60 days with the G League affiliate as a substitute of signing elsewhere.
