Joshua Primo: Clears waivers
Primo became an unrestricted free agent Monday after going unclaimed off waivers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Less than three weeks after exercising Primo's third-year player option for the 2023-24 season, the Spurs waived the No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft on Friday after multiple allegations emerged of the 19-year-old exposing himself to women. Primo isn't yet facing any criminal charges or discipline from the league, but the circumstances surrounding his departure from San Antonio as well as the $8 million-plus in salary he's due over the next two seasons were likely major factors in the league's other 29 teams not putting in a waiver claim for the young wing. Before news of the allegations were reported, Primo said in a statement Friday following his release from the Spurs that he had suffered "previous trauma" and "will now take this time to focus on my mental health treatment more fully." It's not clear if or when Primo will be able to resume his playing career.

Joshua Primo: Waived by Spurs
Primo (glute) was waived by the Spurs on Friday, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
Primo was slated to miss a second consecutive game Friday against the Bulls due to a sore left glute, but it's a surprising move to see him let go by San Antonio after he was selected by the team with the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He averaged 6.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 21.3 minutes per game over 54 appearances with the Spurs and will now seek out other opportunities.

Spurs' Joshua Primo: Plays 26 minutes in opener
Primo notched 10 points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 129-102 loss to Charlotte.
Primo was inefficient, but his five assists and volume of shot attempts were encouraging. Tre Jones and Devin Vassell will continue handling the bulk of the backcourt usage, but Primo has upside to see sixth-man minutes for the rebuilding Spurs. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should add him to the watchlist.

Primo played 24 minutes against Oklahoma City on Thursday, finishing with 23 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, one rebound and one blocked shot.
Despite playing in just his second game of the exhibition slate, Primo was in excellent form as he led the Spurs in scoring with an efficient shooting effort from both the field and the charity stripe. The second-year guard also ranked second on the team with four assists, though he also committed four turnovers. Primo is primed to back up Tre Jones at point guard when the regular season gets underway.

Primo appears to have avoided significant damage but will take a bit of a hiatus before returning to the floor. Per Tynan, the earliest Primo could return is the final game of the preseason, so his status should be monitored as the regular season approaches.
