The Austin Spurs announced that the team has named Will Voigt as head coach, making him the ninth head coach in franchise history. In addition, Willis Hall and Pierre Parker have been named assistant coaches on Voigt’s staff, joining Jesse Childs who returns for his third season as an assistant. 

Voigt most recently served one season as head coach for Zamalek of the Egyptian Basketball Super League where the team finished third in the 2022 Basketball Africa League Playoffs.

Spanish big man Izan Almansa has signed with G League Ignite for the upcoming season. Almansa is a potential lottery pick at the 2024 NBA Draft.

"This is the best step to take now to improve my game, play against grown men and also work on my body," Almansa said.

The 6-foot-10 big man won MVP at the FIBA U17 World Cup and the FIBA U18 European World Championship. He came to the United States two years ago with hopes of improving his game, and he feels he's done that.

"My game has improved in a lot of ways in the U.S.; my shooting, physicality and also seeing how the people see the game here, everybody is trying to get to the same place so is super competitive," Almansa said. "I decided to continue my development in the U.S. because I want to play here for the next years so I think that being in this environment is going to help me more."
