With an overloaded roster, the Spurs had no choice but to waive players before the season officially starts. It may come as a surprise that today the Spurs chose to waive their 2019 first round pick Luka Samanic.
Samanic played two seasons for the Spurs, averaging 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 9.9 minutes over 36 games. Originally drafted by the Spurs with the 19th pick of the NBA Draft, the Croatian forward additionally appeared in 39 games for the Austin Spurs in the NBA G League, averaging 16.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 29.
