Spurs acquire Tarris Reed Jr. to support Victor Wembanyama
Summary

The San Antonio Spurs have acquired rookie Tarris Reed Jr. with the 26th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, obtained through a trade with the Denver Nuggets. Reed, a former UConn standout, is expected to provide frontcourt depth behind Victor Wembanyama. With Jayden Quaintance recovering from injury, Reed aims to contribute immediately. He has emphasized his willingness to embrace a physical playing style, which may help the Spurs improve their rebounding issues that arose in the previous season. Reed stands at 6-foot-10 and weighs 260 pounds, with a wingspan of 7-foot-4.25, making him a strong interior presence.
