Monday Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reported the San Antonio Spurs will not tender the $1.7 qualifying offer to guard Quinndary Weatherspoon to make him a restricted free agent on August 2. This means Weatherspoon will become an unrestricted free agent entering free agency.
While the Spurs could still re-sign Weatherspoon with early bird rights, this is a signal the team is likely ready to move on from the guard while also beginning the first steps of opening up their close to $50 million in potential cap space this offseason.
Weatherspoon was drafted by the Spurs in 2019 out of the second round and he’s been on a two-way contract for his first two seasons in the league.
