The San Antonio Spurs are interested in reuniting with Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Murray became trade-eligible on Tuesday, and the Spurs have shown “exploratory interest” in their former first-round pick, per Charania. The 27-year-old spent five seasons with the Spurs before he was included in a trade with Jock Landale to the Hawks for Danilo Gallinari and several first-round picks following the 2021-22 NBA season.
Murray averaged career highs in points per game (21.1), rebounds (8.3), assists (9.2) and steals per game (2.0) in 2021-22, his final season in San Antonio. The Spurs are seeking to build a foundation around rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama.
