This summer, the Spurs had signed Alize Johnson and the latter then had to make his place in the group. Eventually, the interior was cut before the start of the regular season.
Alize Johnson then rebounded in the G-League, still with the Spurs, in Austin. In six games, he averaged 22.2 points and 10.7 rebounds. This prompted the Spurs to call him back to the NBA to offer him a one-year contract, ESPN tells us.
For this, the Texan leaders decided to cut Jordan Hall, a very young winger who has only played 83 minutes and scored 28 points since the start of the season.
For Alize Johnson, this is a great opportunity, because after his stints in Indiana and Brooklyn between 2018 and 2021, he chained small contracts last season, in Chicago, Washington and New Orleans, without convincing.
The San Antonio Spurs are signing forward Alize Johnson on a one-deal, his agent @GeorgeLangberg like ESPN. Johnson has averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds for Austin of the G League this season.
