REPORT: San Antonio Spurs sign former Illinois Basketball star Brandon Paul

At long last, former Illinois basketball star Brandon Paul has secured a guaranteed NBA deal.

Multiple media outlets reported on Thursday that the 6-foot-4 guard has agreed to terms with the San Antonio Spurs. Official contract details have not yet been disclosed.

Paul is coming off yet another successful showing in the NBA Summer League. In 7 total games with the Dallas Mavericks and Cleveland Cavaliers, he averaged 15.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.7 steals per game on 47.12% shooting from the field.

The highlight of Paul’s stint with Cleveland came on July 10, when he netted a game-high 21 points in a win over the Golden State Warriors.
