San Antonio Spurs Re-Sign Guard Jordan McLaughlin to One-Year Deal

Jordan McLaughlin has signed a one-year, $3 million contract to return to the San Antonio Spurs for the 2025 NBA season, providing veteran depth behind a young guard rotation that includes De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper. McLaughlin, entering his seventh NBA season, played 18 games for the Spurs last season after being acquired from the Sacramento Kings in a trade involving Fox. Known for his three-point shooting ability with a career average of 37%, McLaughlin is expected to play a limited role but is valued for his locker room presence and readiness. The Spurs' decision to re-sign McLaughlin also aligns with their salary cap strategy, allowing them to retain exceptions for filling remaining roster spots. This move follows the Spurs trading reserve guards Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley to Washington in exchange for center Kelly Olynyk, which created a greater need for guard depth. McLaughlin’s return solidifies the Spurs' backcourt depth as they prepare for the upcoming season.
