After clearing a roster spot by waiving Jeff Ledbetter, the Spurs returned to the 20-player maximum by signing former Notre Dame guard Matt Farrell, per RealGM’s official NBA transactions log.
Farrell, 23, went undrafted in 2018 and spent his first professional season in the G League, playing for the Sixers’ affiliate. In 45 games (27.0 MPG) for the Delaware Blue Coats, the 6’1″ point guard averaged 10.8 PPG, 5.6 APG, and 3.2 RPG with a shooting line of .410/.351/.755.
San Antonio’s NBAGL team, the Austin Spurs, acquired Farrell’s rights in a trade with the Blue Coats earlier this month. Now that he has signed what appears to be an Exhibit 10 contract with San Antonio, Farrell should be in line for a bonus worth up to $50K if he’s waived and spends at least two months with Austin.
Good thing John McClane saved Matt Farrell’s life in
“Live Free or Die Hard”. John should get a cut of this contract.
