Spurs sign forward Jordan Hall to one-year deal

The San Antonio Spurs are signing forward Jordan Hall to a one-year deal. This news comes five days after the team waived Josh Primo. The 20-year-old went undrafted out of St. Joseph’s.

Last week, the Spurs terminated Hall’s two-way contract. Charles Bassey replaced the New Jersey native on the roster. After cutting Primo, San Antonio left behind $4.14 million (2022-23) and $4.34 million (2023-24) in dead cap space.

According to some NBA betting sites, the Spurs have the seventh-lowest odds to win the championship in 2023. A few sportsbooks increased their playoff chances since the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets continue to struggle.
