The 19-year-old guard was released by the Spurs on Friday, just four games into the NBA season and soon after the third-year option on his contract had been picked up by the team.
Charania reports that Primo is still owed $8.4M, over the next two years, per conditions of his contract.
San Antonio Spurs guard Joshua Primo and head coach Gregg Popovich watch play during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Monday, Oct. 24, 2022, in Minneapolis. Primo on Friday, following his release from the Spurs, gave a statement to ESPN saying he will use his time away from the Spurs to focus on his mental health and heal from trauma.
“I know that you all are surprised by today’s announcement. I’ve been seeking help to deal with previous trauma I suffered and will now take this time to focus on my mental health treatment more fully. I hope to be able to discuss these issues in the future so I can help others who have suffered in a similar way. I appreciate privacy at this time.”
