Gay appeared in just 30 games with the Kings in the 2016-17 season but suffered a torn achilles that sidelined him for a majority of the season.
Gay, 31, reportedly chose San Antonio to become a part of a contender. He met with the Oklahoma City Thunder this week as a potential suitor but there was a gap between what the Thunder were willing to pay and what Gay was asking for on the market. OKC ultimately signed Patrick Patterson and chose to re-up with defensive stopper Andre Roberson.
Gay averaged 19.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game in his four seasons with the Sacramento Kings, and will now join the Spurs as a potential second option to All-Star Kawhi Leonard.
