His $7 million salary was certainly guaranteed, but Khem Birch has nevertheless been cut by the Spurs less than a week before the resumption.
It must be said that he only had one year left on his contract and the Texan franchise is not too financially in the red, it can afford this transaction, while it will still have to part with a player of here’s the cover (Sandro Mamukelashvili?).
At 31 years old, Khem Birch (2.2 points, 1.3 rebound average) therefore joins the market for free agents at a very bad time, but he is not the only one in this situation since Darius Bazley accompanies him. He too was cut during the daybut by the Nets, while his salary was not guaranteed. In any case, it should not fail to interest some teams in the days to come…
Also note the invitation of Glenn Robinson III to the Bucks training camp, as well as the departures of Drew Timme and Vit Krejci, respectively cut by Milwaukee and Minnesota…
