The San Antonio Spurs announced on Monday that they have waived veteran point guard Cameron Payne.
Payne, 29, was acquired by the team on July 17, along with a 2025 second-round pick and cash from the Phoenix Suns, in exchange for a protected second-round pick in 2024.
The move will help enable the Spurs to meet the NBA’s roster requirements. While the team is allowed to take 21 players to training camp, they are still only allowed 15 fully guaranteed players on the roster at the start of the season. The team will still have to make additional moves. The Spurs have several young guards already on the roster that they intend to develop, which left Payne expendable. Point guard Tre Jones re-signed in the offseason and the previous drafting of Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley also did not leave a lot of minutes available.
Payne also, however, reportedly did not endear himself to Silver and Black fans in his short time with the team, as he previously posted on social media wishing he was still in Phoenix. "I miss Phoenix already... They trynna win the chip and I respect it. I feel like they could've won a chip with me tho."
