Second-year shooting guard Joshua Primo was placed on waivers by the Spurs on Friday night, just weeks after San Antonio picked up the third-year player option for the 2023-24 season to fully guarantee his $4.3 million salary.
The 19-year-old Primo appeared to carve out a solid role in the San Antonio rotation after a strong rookie season and a decent start to his 2022-23 campaign. After being ruled out due to left glute soreness on Friday for the second consecutive game, the Spurs surprisingly waived Primo before Friday’s game vs. the Bulls tipped off.
Primo addressed his release in a statement to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
