Spurs Bring Micah Potter, Adam Flagler into Training Camp

The San Antonio Spurs have taken a significant step in their roster development by securing training camp contracts with free agent big man Micah Potter and guard Adam Flagler, as confirmed by the NBA’s official transactions log and reported by hoopswire.com. This move signals the Spurs’ intention to bolster their lineup ahead of the upcoming season.

Micah Potter, a 27-year-old versatile forward/center standing at 6-foot-10, is recognized for his ability to stretch the floor and provide valuable scoring options. Over the last three seasons, he has been part of the Utah Jazz organization, primarily on two-way contracts. However, with four years of experience in the league, Potter is now ineligible for such arrangements. While specific details of his contract remain undisclosed, sources suggest that this agreement is likely a non-guaranteed training camp deal that may include Exhibit 9 and Exhibit 10 provisions.

Last season, Potter achieved a personal best by playing in 38 games for the Jazz, where he averaged 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds over approximately 18.6 minutes per game. His shooting percentages reflect his potential, as he connected on 42% of his field-goal attempts and 32% from three-point range. His ability to shoot from beyond the arc could provide the Spurs with a much-needed offensive dimension, particularly as they look to enhance their spacing on the court.

Adam Flagler, 25, is another intriguing addition, standing 6-foot-3 and bringing a championship pedigree from his time at Baylor, where he played a pivotal role in their 2021 NCAA title run. Flagler has spent the past two seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder, primarily on a two-way contract. Last year, he participated in 37 games for the Thunder, who eventually clinched the championship. Unfortunately, Flagler’s season was marred by injury, as he missed several weeks due to a broken bone in his right hand. Despite this setback, his contributions averaged 5.5 minutes per game, and he will look to prove his value in San Antonio’s training camp.

Flagler’s contract is also believed to include Exhibit 10 language, which could facilitate a smooth transition to the Spurs’ G League affiliate if he does not secure a spot on the main roster. His experience and skill set could provide the Spurs with depth at the guard position as they undergo roster evaluations during the camp.

As reported by hoopswire.com, the inclusion of both Potter and Flagler not only adds depth to the Spurs’ lineup but also reflects a broader strategy of identifying and developing talent that can contribute to the team’s long-term success. With training camp set to begin, all eyes will be on how these new signings integrate with the existing roster and whether they can secure a spot on the final team.
