Former San Antonio Spurs guard Josh Primo has had quite the Friday.
On Friday, the NBA suspended Primo for four games without pay for exposing himself to women. Primo, who was drafted by the Spurs at No. 12 overall in 2021, was waived and had his contract terminated last October when these allegations first surfaced.
“The league conducted its own investigation and consulted with relevant experts,” the NBA said in a statement. “Following that process, the league found that Primo engaged in appropriate and offensive behavior by exposing himself to women. Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional, and the league did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures. Nevertheless, this behavior does not conform to league standards and warrants discipline.”
After the announcement, it was announced that Primo was planning to sign a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Last November, former team psychologist Dr. Hillary Cauthen settled a lawsuit against Primo and the team based on allegations that he repeatedly exposed himself to her during treatment sessions. Dr. Cauthen alleged that Primo exposed himself to her nine times and that the team did not take appropriate action when she reported him doing so.

The Clippers open their season on Oct. 25 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Primo’s suspension would keep him out until they play against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 1st. However, as a two-way player, he could be in the G League at that point.
Primo played only 54 games for the Spurs after they selected him in the lottery of the 2021 NBA Draft.
