While he had signed a guaranteed contract at the end of August, Joe Wieskamp is ultimately not retained by the Spurs. In effect, according to The Athleticthe former Iowa bears the brunt of the ultimate decision that the Spurs had to make: to part with a last player to reach the limit of 15 guaranteed contracts.
Selected in 41st position in the 2021 Draft by the San Antonio club after a good college career, the 23-year-old fullback played his rookie season in Texas with a “two-way contract”, only appearing at 29 times with Gregg Popovich’s squad (for 7.1 minutes per game).
His performance with the Austin Spurs in the G-League? 15 games, for averages of 17.1 points (47.3% on shots), 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 33.5 minutes.
The rest for him, if he wants to join a “roster” over the next few hours, it’s probably another “two-way contract”, and therefore certainly the G-League for a good part of the season.
