Spurs' Malaki Branham: Spurs pick up option
The Spurs exercised their fourth-year team option on Branham on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Branham has emerged as a solid rotational piece for the Spurs and has improved with each passing year, so the team has decided to keep him around not only for this season, but for 2025-26 as well. Branham averaged 9.2 points, 2.1 assists and 2.0 rebounds per game across 75 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, his second year in The Association.

Spurs' Blake Wesley: Has option picked up
Wesley had his fourth-year team option picked up by the Spurs on Friday, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.
Wesley averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.3 blocks and 0.4 triples across 17.0 minutes in the final 20 games of his sophomore season in San Antonio. Although his option was picked up, the guard will presumably have to earn a spot providing depth in the backcourt once the regular season tips off.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Spurs exercise third-year option
The Spurs have exercised the third-year option on Wembanyama's contract Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
This is far from a shocking decision from the Spurs' front office, as Wembanyama is already the team's most important player in both the short and long term despite having played less than 100 games in the NBA in his career to this point. This move ensures Wembanyama will be under contract with the Spurs until the end of the 2025-26 season, and the Spurs will likely choose to sign him to a maximum extension after that.

Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Option picked up
The Spurs exercised their fourth-year team option on Sochan (rest) on Friday, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.
Sochan was rested, along with several other starters, in the Spurs' preseason finale. He is expected to start at power forward once the regular season tips off. He produced a double-double with 18 points (9-13 FG), 11 rebounds, an assist and a steal across 28 minutes in his last exhibition game.

Spurs' Jamaree Bouyea: Signed by San Antonio
The Spurs signed Bouyea on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Bouyea was let go by the Spurs in September, but the Austin Spurs acquired his G League rights via trade before the NBA club signed him. The 25-year-old made 12 appearances for the G League's Austin Spurs in 2023-24, during which he averaged 15.1 points, 6.3 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals.

Spurs' Sidy Cissoko: Scores 15 points Thursday
Cissoko posted 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds across 23 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 129-107 preseason loss to the Rockets.
Cissoko was one of three Spurs who scored at least 15 points, with Stephon Castle and Malaki Branham being the others. However, this might not be enough to give Cissoko a steady role in the rotation, especially in a crowded backcourt, so he will probably open the regular season in the G League with the Austin Spurs.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Struggles from field Thursday
Collins delivered 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes in Thursday's 129-107 preseason loss to the Rockets.
Collins got the start Thursday since Victor Wembanyama was rested ahead of the regular-season opener Oct. 24 against the Mavericks. The big man will be a serviceable backup and should see steady minutes with the second unit, but as a reserve frontcourt player who doesn't stand out in any particular area, his fantasy upside will be close to minimal.

Spurs' Stephon Castle: Scores team-high 16 points
Castle finished with 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 24 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 129-107 preseason loss to the Rockets.
Castle led the Spurs in points and was a disruptive presence on both ends of the court. The fact that he also led the team in minutes played is an encouraging sign of his role in the rotation. He's not likely to open the regular season as a starter, but he should see decent minutes off the bench at both guard spots.

Spurs' Malaki Branham: Enters starting five
Branham is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Branham will get a chance to start with the Spurs set to rest the majority of the starting unit. He fared well in limited chances Tuesday against the Heat, tallying 15 points in 13 bench minutes.

Spurs' Tre Jones: Starting vs. Houston
Jones is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jones will get the start at point guard with Chris Paul sidelined due to rest purposes. Paul is fully entrenched as the team's starting point guard for the season opener against the Mavericks on Oct. 24, but Jones figures to open the season as his primary backup over rookie Stephon Castle.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Gets starting nod Thursday
Collins is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Collins will get the nod at center with Victor Wembanyama out for rest purposes. It will be a solid chance for Collins to get some minutes before the start of the regular season against the Mavericks on Oct. 24, as he's expected to open the campaign in a bench role as Wembanyama's primary backup at center.

Spurs' David Duke: Good to go against Houston
Duke (undisclosed) isn't on the list of inactive players for Thursday's preseason game versus the Rockets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Duke will be available to make his preseason debut Thursday after missing time for an undisclosed reason. However, as a two-way player, Duke isn't expected to see much playing time for San Antonio this season.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Inactive Thursday
Johnson won't play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Rockets for rest purposes, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Johnson will sit out Thursday's preseason finale for rest purposes alongside Victor Wembanyama, Chris Paul and Jeremy Sochan. All of these players should be able to suit up for the Spurs' regular-season opener against the Mavericks on Oct. 24.

Spurs' Chris Paul: Sitting out Thursday
Paul won't play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Rockets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Paul will be held out of Friday's preseason finale for rest purposes. The veteran point guard should be good to go for the team's regular-season opener against Dallas on Oct. 24.

Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Won't play against Houston
Wembanyama will sit out Thursday's preseason game versus the Rockets, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Wembanyama hasn't suffered any injury but will be held out Thursday for rest purposes. Zach Collins will likely start at center in his absence. Wembanyama should be available for San Antonio's regular-season opener against Dallas on Oct. 24.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Solid showing off bench
Johnson scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding five rebounds, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason loss to the Heat.
The 25-year-old forward's minutes have been in the low 20s for all three of his preseason appearances, and while other spots in the lineup remain unsettled, Johnson appears headed for a frontcourt role on the second unit to begin the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaged at least 15.0 points, 5.0 boards and 1.8 threes per game in each of the last three seasons, but that production came in a starting role that afforded him 29.5 minutes a game or more. With Jeremy Sochan apparently getting the first crack at the starting power forward job alongside Victor Wembanyama, Johnson's numbers figure to take a tumble.

Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Double-double against Miami
Sochan scored 18 points (9-13 FG) while adding 11 rebounds, an assist and a steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason loss to the Heat.
Getting the start at power forward, Sochan put together his best performance of the preseason while leading the Spurs in scoring. It's still not clear how Gregg Popovich plans to deploy the third-year player, but if he can hang onto a starting spot in the frontcourt next to Victor Wembanyama, a career-best campaign should follow.

Spurs' Zach Collins: Returns to bench
Collins isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Heat.
Victor Wembanyama will reclaim his starting spot from Collins against Miami. However, Wembanyama is expected to play just 15 minutes, so Collins could still see extended playing time Tuesday.
