Laprovittola agreed to a contract Monday with Club Joventut Badalona of the Spanish Liga ACB, EuroHoops.net reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old most recently played for Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg after making his NBA debut with the San Antonio Spurs in the 2016-17 season before being waived. The Argentinian looks like a good bet to remain overseas for the rest of his playing career.

Laprovittola signed a contract Wednesday with Saski Baskonia of the Spanish ACB League, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Laprovittola earned a roster spot with the Spurs as an undrafted rookie, but appeared in only 18 games before the team decided to drop him from the roster. After failing to find any other suitors elsewhere in the NBA, the 26-year-old will head back to the ACB League, where he suited up last season. If he plays well in Spain, he could gin up interest for an NBA return at some point next season.

Laprovittola was waived by the Spurs on Tuesday, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
Laprovittola signed a camp deal with the Spurs back in September and eventually earned one of the final spots on their regular season roster. He's provided some much-needed depth at point guard, even logging a few starts when Tony Parker was either injured or getting a night off for rest. However, it appears the Spurs weren't high enough on him to roster him for the rest of the season, as they'll cut him before his contract becomes fully guaranteed in a few weeks. Laprovittola could find suitors around the NBA once he clears waivers, but otherwise, he'll likely head back overseas. Look for Dejounte Murray to serve as the Spurs' third point guard behind Parker and Patty Mills moving forward.

Laprovittola supplied three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists and one block across 12 minutes in Saturday's 130-101 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
With Tony Parker starting both of the last two games following three absences in a four-game span due to a thigh injury, Laprovittola has seen a downturn in playing time. Laprovittola was only acting as a placeholder during his time in the starting five, but now that the Spurs are fully healthy in the backcourt, he's fallen all the way to third on the depth chart at point guard. Don't expect the rookie to see the floor during most competitive matchups when Parker and Patty Mills are both available.

Laprovittola will start at point guard for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jeff McDonald of San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tony Parker is dealing with yet another injury, as he'll sit out Tuesday's game due to a thigh bruise. That means Laprovittola will get another opportunity to jump into the starting lineup for the third time over the last four games. During his last two starts for Parker, Laprovittola averaged 7.0 points, 1.0 rebound, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steal over 19.5 minutes, so his elevation to the starting five doesn't necessarily mean he's a great fantasy option.

Laprovittola will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Bucks, Bucks radio play-by-play announcer Ted Davis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tony Parker has missed the last two games with a lingering knee injury, but has been cleared for a return to the court and will take on his normal role as the team's starting point guard. Laprovittola will head to the bench in the corresponding move and will likely see his minutes take a big hit, after logging 20 and 19 minutes over the last two games. Unless another injury occurs, Laprovittola can be avoided in traditional fantasy leagues.

Laprovittola will draw another spot start at point guard for Friday's matchup against the Spurs, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tony Parker will miss his second straight game, and the Spurs will opt to go with Laprovittola at point again. Although he started Wednesday, he played just 19 minutes, while Patty Mills played 29 off the bench. Expect a similar displacement of minutes for Friday's contest.

Laprovittola will draw his first start of the season in Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Laprovittola is getting the spot start, as Tony Parker, who will still suit up, is not expected to play. The 26-year-old Argentinian was just recalled from the D-League on Tuesday. He played a small role in nine games with the team earlier in the season, but they likely want to see what he is capable of offering in a larger role.

Laprovittola was recalled from the D-League on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Argentinian guard has appeared sparingly in nine games for the Spurs this season, averaging 2.8 points and 1.3 assists in 9.2 minutes per game. Barring an injury or two, he's unlikely to work his way into a consistent spot in the rotation as a 26-year-old rookie.

Laprovittola was assigned Sunday to the D-League's Austin Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Laprovittola joins both Dejounte Murray and Bryn Forbes as Spurs' players heading to the D-League on Sunday. All three players have struggled to get on the court with San Antonio and will likely be frequent visitors to Austin this season. Look for Laprovittola to be recalled prior to Tuesday's matchup with the Magic, but he's not a member of the team's regular rotation and isn't a fantasy contributor.
