After three seasons with the Clippers, where he played little overall (105 matches for an average of 13 minutes), Brandon Boston Jr. had not found a new team to bounce back from his California experience this summer. That is, until the Spurs invited him to their training camp at the start of the school year, announced HoopsHype very recently.
The 22-year-old winger will therefore try to earn his place alongside Victor Wembanyama and his teammates, even if it looks quite difficult since the San Antonio franchise already has more than fifteen players under contract. Notably Malachi Flynn, who signed in recent days in Texas.
However, with only three years of NBA experience, Brandon Boston Jr. may still be eligible for a ” two-way contract“. Which could be a good solution for the 51st pick of the 2021 Draft (selected by Memphis), in order to play the regular season with the Spurs in the middle of a few stints in the G-League, and above all to have minutes to show himself in a team less ambitious and strong than the Clippers.
Two-way contract : Designed to create a new bridge between the NBA and the G-League, this type of contract allows each team to secure the services of two or three additional players, to have them play mainly in their affiliated development league franchise but also up to 50 matches in the NBA.
