The San Antonio Spurs have assigned guard Josh Primo to the Austin Spurs.

San Antonio’s first round selection in the 2021 NBA Draft (12th overall), Primo has appeared in two of the team’s four games this season, averaging 2.5 points in 3.0 minutes. Primo also played in all five of the Spurs preseason games, averaging 5.8 points in 9.7 minutes.

Spurs two-way guard Joe Wieskamp will also join Austin for their 2021 Training Camp, which starts today in San Antonio.

Lonnie Walker will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season after he was unable to agree to an extension with the San Antonio Spurs.

“I ain’t worried about the contract,” Walker said. “I think God willingly, I’ve got good karma, good energy around me. Things will turn out the way they are supposed to.”

The Spurs hope Walker has a breakout season.

“I think I’m more excited, more hungry. I’m starving more than ever,” Walker said. “I’m trying to stay active offensively and defensively and do what Pop (coach Gregg Popovich) wants me to do.”

Derrick White called Walker “ready to go” and “motivated.”

“He’s been the same every day, going in with a great attitude,” White said. “He had a great game last game (17 points in the 121-111 loss to the Bucks). We need him all year.”

Walker would like to remain with the Spurs. 

“Absolutely. I think I’m a San Antonio, Texas, guy myself,” he said. “I had somebody call out to me at an H-E-B, ‘What’s up, (dude)?’ I thought, ‘I’m part of this community now.’”

The San Antonio Spurs have claimed forward Devontae Cacok off waivers and converted him to a two-way contract.

Cacok most recently appeared in two preseason games with the Nets, averaging 7.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10.1 minutes. The third-year forward has spent the last two seasons on a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. In 21 NBA games, he has recorded averages of 2.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 5.1 minutes per contest while shooting .571 from the floor.

In addition to his NBA experience, the 25-year-old appeared in 33 games with the Lakers NBA G League affiliate during the 2019-20 campaign. Posting averages of 19.3 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.12 steals in 23.9 minutes while shooting 66.0 percent from the field for the South Bay Lakers, Cacok earned All-NBA G League First Team and NBA G League All-Rookie Team honors in 2020.

The San Antonio Spurs have exercised their fourth-year team option on forward Keldon Johnson, as well as their third-year option on guard Devin Vassell for the 2022-23 season.

Johnson is entering his third year with the Spurs after appearing in 69 games last season and averaging 12.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 28.5 minutes. Johnson was a member of this summer's Team USA Basketball squad that captured the gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Vassell enters his second season with San Antonio following his rookie year when he averaged 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds in 17.0 minutes over 62 games. He became just the seventh rookie in franchise history to record 50-plus three pointers in their first season. 

The San Antonio Spurs have waived forward Al-Farouq Aminu.

Aminu appeared in one preseason game with the Spurs. He was originally acquired by the Spurs on Aug. 11, 2021 in a trade with the Chicago Bulls.

The Spurs roster now stands at 16 players.

The San Antonio Spurs have waived guards Jordan Burns and Damyean Dotson. Both players were signed to non-guaranteed contracts.

Burns went undrafted out of Colgate at the 2021 NBA Draft. Dotson is a four-year NBA veteran. He's played with the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Both Burns and Dotson are expected to play for the Austin Spurs of the G League as Affiliate Players.

San Antonio's roster now stands at 17 players. The Spurs will have to trade or waive at least one player with a fully guaranteed contract to get into regular season roster compliance.

The San Antonio Spurs continued their roster shuffling at the end of training camp by adding two more players. San Antonio signed Jordan Burns and Damyean Dotson. Both players are expected to be on non-guaranteed contracts.

Dotson is a four-year NBA veteran. Dotson spent his first three years with the New York Knicks, then played for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season. In 211 NBA appearances, Dotson has averaged 7.5 points per game.

Burns went undrafted out of Colgate at the 2021 NBA Draft. The point guard was a four-year starter for the Red Raiders. As a senior, Burns averaged 16.8 points, 5.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game.

Both Dotson and Burns are expected to join the Austin Spurs of the G League as Affiliate Players following the preseason.

The San Antonio Spurs have waived forward Luka Samanic.

Samanic played two seasons for the Spurs, averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 9.9 minutes over 36 games. Originally selected by San Antonio with the 19th pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, the Croatian forward also appeared in 39 games for the Austin Spurs in the NBA G League, averaging 16.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 29.1 minutes.

The Spurs training camp roster now stands at 17 players.

The San Antonio Spurs have waived Denzel Mahoney and Jaylen Morris. Both players were on fully non-guaranteed training camp deal. The Spurs will have no cap hit for either player.

Both Mahoney and Morris were signed in order for San Antonio to get their G League Affiliate Player rights. It's expected both players will play for the Austin Spurs in the G League.

The Spurs now have 18 players under contract. This includes 17 players on a fully guaranteed standard contracts. San Antonio will have to move two players via trade, or will have dead money on the cap after waiving two fully guaranteed contracts.

There is a growing belief that San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich will retire following the 2021-22 season. Popovich has remained non-committal to his coaching future, only saying that he's excited to coach the young Spurs this season.

Whenever Popovich does retire, San Antonio has a wide array of potential replacements. Former Spurs assistant Will Hardy was thought to be the heir apparent, but he moved from the Spurs bench to the Boston Celtics this offseason. Former players Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have also been mentioned. It's unclear how much Duncan wants to coach, while Ginobili just recently returned to San Antonio.

Becky Hammon is also expected to receive consideration. Hammon has been with the Spurs the second-longest of any assistant, and has been interviewed for several other head coaching jobs in recent years.
