Jordan McLaughlin will return to the Spurs on a one-year, $3MM contract, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
The 29-year-old point guard was acquired from Sacramento in February as part of the De’Aaron Fox deal. He saw limited playing time in 18 games after the trade, averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 assists in 6.9 minutes per night with .536/.450/1.000 shooting numbers.
McLaughlin spent his first five NBA seasons with Minnesota after signing a two-way contract in the summer of 2019. He moved on to the Kings as a free agent last July, but didn’t see consistent playing time with them either before being traded.
McLaughlin will be the 13th standard contract for San Antonio, which opened a roster spot earlier today by sending Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley to Washington in exchange for Kelly Olynyk.
