Primo was the San Antonio Spurs’ No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He was released after a former team psychologist alleged that Primo had exposed himself to her nine times, and that her complaints were ignored by the organization. The NBA did its own investigation and gave Primo a four-game suspension earlier Friday over the allegations.
The 20-year-old Promo averaged 5.9 points and 1.8 assists per game over two years with the Spurs. Given the promise he showed, it is not a surprise that a team would make the move to bring him in if they were comfortable with his conduct going forward.
