Spurs waive Josh Primo, No. 12 pick in 2021 NBA draft | NBA.com (NBA.com)

Josh Primo averaged 5.8 ppg, 2.3 rpg and 1.6 apg in his rookie season with the Spurs after playing one season at Alabama.

Primo was the youngest player in the NBA last season, and doesn’t turn 20 until Christmas Eve. 12 overall, despite the former Alabama standout playing only one year of college basketball. Overall, they roster 14 players younger than age 26, a squad squarely in rebuilding mode after running off a streak of 22 consecutive postseason appearances from 1998-2019. Primo played in each of San Antonio’s first four games, averaging 7.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists before sitting out of the team’s 12 pick of the 2021 NBA Draft, Primo, 19, started 16 games as a rookie last season and averaged 5.9 points over 54 career outings.
