With just one game to go in the preseason, the San Antonio Spurs had a decision to make with its roster. With 16 players on guaranteed contracts, San Antonio needed to cut a player in order to get to the league standard 15 roster spots. To meet that requirement, the Spurs waived veteran big man Khem Birch on Thursday, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
