The Suns have signed wing Paul Watson, according to RealGM’s transactions log.
Terms were not disclosed but it’s safe to assume it’s an Exhibit 10 contract. Phoenix’s NBA G League team, the Valley Suns, acquired Watson’s returning rights on Monday from the Austin Spurs in exchange for the rights to Lindell Wigginton and Matt Lewis.
San Antonio signed and waived Watson last week.
Watson, 28, played in Germany briefly after going undrafted out of Fresno State in 2017, but has since bounced back and forth between the NBA and the G League. The 6’6″ guard/forward with some three-and-D potential, appeared in 46 total NBA games for the Hawks, Raptors, and Thunder from 2020-22, as well as 142 regular season and Showcase Cup NBAGL contests for the Westchester Knicks, Raptors 905, and Oklahoma City Blue from 2017-22.
He’ll be eligible for a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he’s waived and then spends at least 60 days with the Valley Suns.
Watson was actually not signed by San Antonio this year. That article was from last year
