Spurs acquire Tarris Reed Jr. in draft-night trade from Denver

Tarris Reed Jr. has joined the San Antonio Spurs after being selected 26th overall by the Denver Nuggets and traded to San Antonio for the 35th pick and two future second-round picks. This move highlights the Spurs' commitment to Reed, who is expected to play a significant role early in the season due to Jayden Quaintance's knee injury. The Spurs signed Reed to a four-year, $15.79 million rookie contract, with the first two years guaranteed. Reed's performance in the Summer League, averaging 9.0 points and 9.0 rebounds, sets the stage for his increased responsibilities in the upcoming season, particularly as a complementary player behind Victor Wembanyama. His success could impact his long-term role, especially once Quaintance returns to the lineup.
