SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – JaMychal Green will sign a 10-day contract with the San Antonio Spurs after departing Friday from their affiliate team at the 2015 NBA D-League Showcase, sources told Yahoo Sports.
San Antonio is waiving Austin Daye to clear a roster spot for Green, a league source told Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski. The Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers had expressed interest in signing the free-agent forward as well, a source said. Green, 24, is averaging 23 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists this season for the Austin Spurs of the NBA Development League.
The 6-foot-9, 220-pounder participated in the Spurs’ training camp, but was cut Oct. 22. Green, who played college basketball at Alabama, spent time in the off-season working with the Spurs' renowned shooting coach Chip Engelland.
