Breaking: Massive News As Spurs Sign Third-Year NBA Guard To Bolster Roster Depth
The San Antonio Spurs have enhanced their roster depth by finalizing a deal with former Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. NBA insider Michael Scotto from HoopsHype reported the news on X.
The specifics of the deal remain undisclosed. However, since Scotto mentioned that Boston will be vying for a roster spot in San Antonio, it suggests that the contract is likely an Exhibit 10 training camp agreement. Boston, a former second-round pick by the Memphis Grizzlies, was promptly traded to the Clippers.

Former NBA All-Star guard John Wall expressed his enthusiasm over the signing through a post on his Instagram Story.
“Yessir bro @brandonboston ‼️”
Wall was briefly teammates with Boston during the 2022-23 season with the Clippers, and they appeared to develop a strong friendship, with Wall backing Boston’s career. Both players are also alumni of the University of Kentucky, which likely contributed to their connection.
Boston played in 32 games for the Clippers last season, averaging 5.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists, and 0.3 steals per game. His 3-point shooting percentage significantly declined, dropping to 26.9%, down from 41.4% in the previous season.

Boston shot 50% from beyond the arc in the G-League last season, despite a limited number of attempts. In the NBA, he has a career average of 6.2 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.
A McDonald’s All-American in 2020, Boston has yet to fully meet expectations, but at just 22 years old, he still has ample opportunity to develop his skills.
The young guard aims to make his mark on a Spurs team that is anticipated to be more competitive this season. San Antonio added veteran guard Chris Paul during the offseason, providing Boston Jr. with the chance to learn from one of the game’s all-time greats.
