Spurs' David Duke: Won't go Monday
Rotowire
Duke (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason opener against the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Duke will sit Monday, and it is unclear when he will return to game action while dealing with an undisclosed injury. The 24-year-old signed a two-way contract with the Spurs in July, and he will likely spend most of his time in the G League, considering he'd likely be buried behind a plethora of second-unit players such as Malaki Branham, Malachi Flynn, Blake Wesley and Julian Champagnie in San Antonio.
The Spurs signed Duke (undisclosed) to a two-way contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Duke made four NBA appearances for San Antonio in 2023-24, averaging 6.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.8 minutes. This season, the 24-year-old guard is set to split time between the Spurs and their G League affiliate.
