Primo is planning to sign a two-way contract with the Clippers on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Primo, the 2021 No. 12 overall pick, was waived by the Spurs last October after multiple allegations emerged of the 19-year-old exposing himself to women. He remained a free agent for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign and was issued a four-game suspension by the NBA for conduct detrimental to the league this offseason. After being waived, Primo said he suffered from "previous trauma" and took time to focus on his mental health. Per Wojnarowski, Primo has been engaged in ongoing therapy since the incidents, which will continue in Los Angeles, and underwent evaluation with specialists who consult with the Clippers before being signed.

Primo was issued a four-game suspension Friday for conduct detrimental to the league.
EDGE Analysis
Primo was waived by the Spurs in October of 2022 following multiple allegations of exposing himself to women, and he hasn't played in the NBA since then. He remains unsigned ahead of the 2023-24 season, but he'll be forced to miss four games if he lands with a team at some point.

Primo became an unrestricted free agent Monday after going unclaimed off waivers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Less than three weeks after exercising Primo's third-year player option for the 2023-24 season, the Spurs waived the No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft on Friday after multiple allegations emerged of the 19-year-old exposing himself to women. Primo isn't yet facing any criminal charges or discipline from the league, but the circumstances surrounding his departure from San Antonio as well as the $8 million-plus in salary he's due over the next two seasons were likely major factors in the league's other 29 teams not putting in a waiver claim for the young wing. Before news of the allegations were reported, Primo said in a statement Friday following his release from the Spurs that he had suffered "previous trauma" and "will now take this time to focus on my mental health treatment more fully." It's not clear if or when Primo will be able to resume his playing career.

Primo (glute) was waived by the Spurs on Friday, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Primo was slated to miss a second consecutive game Friday against the Bulls due to a sore left glute, and it's a somewhat surprising move to see him let go by San Antonio after he was selected by the team with the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He averaged 6.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 21.3 minutes per game over 54 appearances with the Spurs and will now seek out other opportunities.

Primo (glute) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Primo will miss a second straight game as he continues to deal with a sore left glute. Devin Vassell (knee) will also remain sidelined Friday, so Josh Richardson figures to draw another start while Romeo Langford could see increased run off the bench. Primo's next chance to return will be Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Primo won't play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said that Primo's absence is due to the hard fall he took in Monday's win over the Timberwolves. According to Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com, Primo has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest due to "left glute spasms." With Devin Vassell (knee) also sidelined, Josh Richardson and Romeo Langford could see increased minutes in San Antonio's backcourt Wednesday.

Primo notched 10 points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 129-102 loss to Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Primo was inefficient, but his five assists and volume of shot attempts were encouraging. Tre Jones and Devin Vassell will continue handling the bulk of the backcourt usage, but Primo has upside to see sixth-man minutes for the rebuilding Spurs. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should add him to the watchlist.

Primo played 24 minutes against Oklahoma City on Thursday, finishing with 23 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, one rebound and one blocked shot.
EDGE Analysis
Despite playing in just his second game of the exhibition slate, Primo was in excellent form as he led the Spurs in scoring with an efficient shooting effort from both the field and the charity stripe. The second-year guard also ranked second on the team with four assists, though he also committed four turnovers. Primo is primed to back up Tre Jones at point guard when the regular season gets underway.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Primo (knee) will be active for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Jazz, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Primo is line to make his first appearance of the preseason Tuesday after sustaining an MCL sprain in late September. Primo will be competing for minutes in the guard rotation with Tre Jones and Devin Vassell, but he is currently expected to be a bench option. The second-year guard should be ready to go for the regular season, barring any setbacks.

Primo had his third-year team option for the 2023-24 season picked up by the Spurs on Monday, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Primo missed the last several weeks with an MCL sprain that he sustained in late September, but he's expected to make his preseason debut Tuesday against the Jazz. He'll likely take on a depth role to begin the regular season but will now be under contract with the Spurs through the 2023-24 season.
