Former San Antonio Spurs guard Joshua Primo has cleared waivers and become an unrestricted free agent, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Primo, the No. 12 pick in the 2021 NBA draft, was suddenly waived Friday night after several instances of allegedly exposing himself to women, sources told ESPN.
There is significant interest in monitoring Primo's future among numerous NBA teams, team executives told ESPN, but claiming Primo, 19, on waivers would have committed a team to paying him $8 million-plus in salary through the 2023-24 season -- a significant risk given the uncertainty surrounding his situation now.
