In this story:

The San Antonio Spurs waived guards Brandon Boston Jr. and Malachi Flynn to finalize its roster for the 2024-25 NBA season.

With those transactions, the roster is now at its maximum size as the Spurs count down to their season opener against Dallas on Oct. 24.

A 2021 second-round pick by the LA Clippers, Boston Jr. joined San Antonio in free agency after a strong finish to last season but was unable to nail down consistent playing time amid lineup experimentation.

Toronto Raptors 2020 draft pick Flynn was up against a packed backcourt in San Antonio.

Flynn was close to earning the 15th spot in what had been a middle of the road preseason for him. The Spurs, though, went in a different direction.

Boston Jr. has good high school pedigree, but has never been able to fulfill on the level of talent he was projecting as a former consensus five-star.

The Spurs will start the NBA's regular season in Dallas, looking to strike first blood on one of their biggest rivals in a hard-nosed Western Conference.
