Pushed out by Spurs, Joshua Primo ended up in the “waivers”, this auction system where cut players are placed, which allows other teams to recover interesting basketball players.
Getting hold of the 19-year-old Canadian playmaker could thus have been a good sporting operation, his contract (8.4 million dollars over the next two seasons) not being heavy. Except that obviously, with the accusations of exhibitionism hanging over him, there is too much uncertainty for another club to position itself.
No one has therefore made an offer to recover Joshua Primo, and it is the Spurs who will pay him his salary until 2024, when the basketball player finds himself an unprotected “free agent”.
He is therefore now free to sign where he wishes, but the rest should instead take place in the courts for the 12th choice of the 2021 Draft. Lawyer Tony Buzbee, the representative of a former Spurs employee who is one of the women who accuse Joshua Primo of exhibitionism, explained to ESPN that he and his client would hold a press conference Thursday morning to detail the charges against the basketball player.
