Josh Primo is only 19-years-old and he may have ended his entire NBA career already with his alleged actions.
The former San Antonio Spurs guard was unexpectedly released by the franchise on Friday, and we now have more details on the decision. The Spurs opted to release the 19-year-old because he allegedly exposed himself to women on several occasions, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski.
“Many NBA teams remain intrigued with Primo’s talent and potential, but are searching for a more complete understanding of the situation as they weigh the possibility of placing a claim to acquire Primo before he clears waivers and becomes a free agent Monday afternoon, sources said.”
That former employee has now hired Tony Buzbee, who is the same lawyer who handled the many cases against Deshaun Watson.
Primo recently had his $4.3 million third-year option for the 2023-24 campaign picked up by the Spurs before he was released.

San Antonio selected Primo with the 12th pick last year.
In a statement to Wojnarowski after the release was announced Friday, Primo cited “previous trauma” that he suffered.
He also promised to focus on his mental health treatment so he would eventually be able to discuss the issues that are affecting him and “help others who have suffered in a similar way.”
