The Spurs introduced they’ve waived heart Nathan Mensah, which brings their offseason roster down to twenty. They’ll have to make at the very least two extra cuts earlier than opening evening.
The Spurs acquired the G League rights to Mensah, who performed 25 video games with the Hornets final season, through commerce again in July. The large man was part of San Antonio’s 2024/25 Summer season League staff, averaging seven factors and 7 rebounds in six appearances in California and Las Vegas. His play earned him a spot in coaching camp, however Mensah appeared in only one preseason sport, logging solely three minutes. He at all times appeared like an extended shot to earn the third two-way contract the Spurs have to supply and it’s not stunning to see him go first. Zach Collins is now out there, which suggests there’s much less want for one more massive physique, and the Silver and Black will play the final two preseason video games away from San Antonio, so it was the fitting time to let the 26-year-old heart go.
The Spurs must proceed trimming their roster to fifteen common contracts and three two-way offers. At present, they solely have one two-way slot open and three gamers on coaching camp contracts. Count on extra cuts within the coming days.
