Spurs' Maliq Brown: Logs 10 minutes off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Brown (back) scored eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and added a rebound across 10 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 102-98 preseason loss to the Suns.
Brown missed the preseason opener against the Hawks on Thursday due to a back injury, but he was one of seven bench players to log double-digit minutes in this matchup. A second-round pick out of Duke in the 2026 NBA Draft, Brown isn't expected to have a big role with the Spurs in 2026-27, and it wouldn't be surprising if he spent most of his rookie year in the G League.

Spurs' Maliq Brown: Headed to San Antonio
Rotowire
The Spurs selected Brown with the No. 44 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The Spurs add another physical big man after taking Jayden Quaintance and Tarris Reed in the first round. Brown is a defensive-minded forward who will need to expand his offensive game if he's going to stick at the NBA level. After two years at Syracuse, Brown transferred to Duke, where he operated as a reserve for two seasons. Across four collegiate seasons, Brown averaged 2.2 steals-plus-blocks per game.
