Josh Primo was the youngest player in the 2021 NBA Draft when selected 12th to the Spurs. His on-court development absolutely had the organization excited about his NBA future. Waiving Primo so abruptly without explanation is fairly unprecedented -- and jarring.

I know they're tanking, but this is ridiculous.
If it was really about losing as much as possible, they would have waived Keldon or Vassel. Something had to have happened.

He was listed as out for tonight's game, but this is pretty sudden. Wonder if something more happened?
Agreed.
Primo did one of these things:
- openly listened to Kanye in the locker room
- campaigned for Abbott
- said Kroger > HEB
There is no other option.

For real though. Dude is the spur in all the Self commercials. Spurs just extended him. Something bad happened.
Asked what led to the release of Primo, Pop said, "Have you all gotten the statement we've made? That's all I choose to say about that right now. We are just going to stick with what we told you all."

Anyone who thinks this is about tanking is being naive or intentionally obtuse. Spurs could have traded Josh for SOMETHING. The guy could shoot and had some promising play making skills. And was still 19! This is clearly serious. I feel bad for the rest of the team right now.

This is just so shocking. Either a drug or alcohol problem, or he got into some type of trouble/domestic violence type ****
He must be a serial killer. Seriously this must be something very bad.
Well, for the record in case there is any confusion, I was joking.West Texan said:LawHall88 said:

I was reading that the Spurs waited until after 5pm to release the statement, which is "coincidentally" the time Bexar county courts close and everything is sealed until Monday . Not sure how true that is but ****
Just replying to people in general here, but Primo being waived has nothing to do with basketball. Still gathering details.

A sacrifice to the lottery gods for Wemby, nothing more.
Read on Twitter that it was attempted murder so must be true
Sources tell me former #Spurs G, Joshua Primo, was involved in an alleged murder this past weekend. More to come.

Mad respect for Pop calling a timeout immediately after DeMar DeRozan hits 20,000 points so the PA announcer can recognize the accomplishment.

Yeah, Spurs aren't cutting a guy they think it's the future so he can deal with mental health issues.
It's a sexual assault
Spurs win!
Spurs toughed this one out and were able to gain the lead again down the stretch. McD missed every single important, momentum shifting three it seemed like.

The internal communication I saw earlier from RC (obvs i didn't get it personally, someone sent me a screen cap) said "This is all we can share at the moment. Now is a time for us to lean on our values. Please reach out to your leaders as needed."
Sounds very legal related and very bad.

His girlfriend removed photos she tagged him in yesterday evening. And Primo's statement makes me think SA/DA related, like Obi called, and blaming his past. Which, I dunno may be true but may also just be something to attempt to save face with what is coming out.
Well, in light of the Primo news, that was a pretty impressive win, With such a young team, you would think they might not have been focused on the game. But they jumped out quick, then got behind, then came back. They are playing good defense. Keldon has the star potential and is getting there quickly. Poeltl is a steady leader. Tre Jones was clutch down the stretch. Blake Wesley scored 10 points in highlight fashion in his debut. Sochan continues to impress on the defensive end. Add on top of that that they are missing Vassel who could be the best all around player they have.
This team has a solid core and are playing much better than I expected. I still think they lose alot of games once other teams see that they aren't pushovers but as others have said, they are going to be fun to watch even when they are losing.

Something tells me this wasn't the Primo time this has happened
Another blown pick

Blown pick aside, this is a garbage. Reports are coming out that executives around the league are trying to figure out what could have caused this because there was nothing that indicated some serious off the court drama. To act like this was foreseeable is pure hindsight and annoyance at the FO.
It sucks we lost our top 2021 pick. But this was clearly sudden, otherwise Spurs don't pick up his option 2-3 weeks ago.

So the Spurs know this is happening and still pick up his option? You're not smart.
Another game with over 35 assists. Every Spurs starter had at least 4 assists and Isaiah Roby was the only player without an assist on the night and he only played 6 minutes.
To contrast, the Bulls only had one starter with 4 assists(Caruso). The Spurs starters had 27 assists, the entire Bulls team had 20.
