OCTOBER 15: Miller has been waived, according to the NBA’s transactions log.
OCTOBER 14: The Spurs have signed free agent guard Isaiah Miller to a training camp contract, according to RealGM’s log of official NBA transactions.
Miller went undrafted out of UNC Greensboro in 2021 and was a G League player for his first three professional seasons, spending one year with the Iowa Wolves and two with the Salt Lake City Stars. In 49 games last season for Salt Lake City, the Jazz’s G League affiliate, he averaged 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 20.5 minutes per contest, with a shooting line of .486/.236/.676.
Over the summer, the 25-year-old suited up for the Grizzlies’ Summer League team that advanced to the championship game in Las Vegas. He subsequently signed with APR, a Rwandan team based in Kigali, and helped lead them to a title in the Rwanda Basketball League last month.
The Stars traded Miller’s returning rights to the Austin Spurs this offseason, lining him up to play for San Antonio’s affiliate if and when he returns to the G League. In all likelihood, the contract he signed with San Antonio is an Exhibit 10 contract that will entitle him to a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he’s waived before the NBA season and then spends at least 60 days with Austin.
The Spurs now have a full 21-man preseason roster, with another week to trim that total to 18 (15 on standard contracts and three on two-way deals) for the regular season.
