Ingram will likely spend a lot of time with the Austin Spurs (in addition to the NBA).

He will be an intriguing prospect for the Spurs to develop.

Harrison is a great and versatile addition! Don’t give up hope on Riley Minix who has a training camp invite. Besides, the team is still likely to see some changes. In fact, we are expecting more roster news in the next couple of days. Patience. Let’s see how it plays out.⏳🏀 https://t.co/HtTZUJWGVV
