The Spurs have signed first-round picks Jayden Quaintance<\/a> (No. 20 overall) and Tarris Reed Jr.<\/a> (No. 26) to their rookie scale contracts, the team announced today in a press release.<\/p>\n

\"\"San Antonio has also officially signed second-rounders Ja\u2019Kobi Gillespie<\/a> (42nd) and Maliq Brown<\/a> (44th), per the team\u2019s announcement. Both of those players received two-way contracts.<\/p>\n

As our rookie scale salaries for 2026 first-round picks<\/a> shows, Quaintance will receive $3.9MM as a rookie and can earn up to $18.9MM over four years, assuming he received the standard 120% of rookie scale amount.<\/p>\n

The former Arizona State and Kentucky big man could be sidelined to open his debut NBA season due a right knee injury, which requires a second surgery<\/a> to clean up his meniscus. The plan is for Quaintance to be with the Spurs\u2019 Summer League team as it travels to the California Classic and then on to Las Vegas, but he obviously won\u2019t play, as Tom Orsborn of The San Antonio Express-News tweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reed, who starred as a senior center at UConn, will earn $3.1MM next season and $15.8MM over the duration of his rookie scale deal. As with Quaintance, the first two years of Reed\u2019s contract are guaranteed, while the third and fourth seasons are team options.<\/p>\n

The two-way contracts signed by Gillespie and Brown will give them the ability to be active for up to 50 NBA games in \u201926\/27. They\u2019ll earn a non-guaranteed $679K next season and won\u2019t be eligible to compete in the playoffs unless they\u2019re converted to standard deals at some point.<\/p>\n

San Antonio entered the offseason with an eye on improving its frontcourt depth, and it did so by selecting Quaintance and Brown, the reigning ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and acquiring the draft rights to Reed in a trade<\/a> with the Nuggets. The Spurs also re-signed Harrison Barnes<\/a> and added another veteran forward in Tobias Harris<\/a> in free agency.<\/p>\n

Gillespie, the lone guard of the group, will provide backcourt depth for Spurs team loaded at point guard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Spurs have signed first-round picks Jayden Quaintance (No. 20 overall) and Tarris Reed Jr. (No. 26) to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":360529,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2755,14859,25232,82,84,83,90825],"class_list":["post-360528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-jakobi-gillespie","tag-jayden-quaintance","tag-maliq-brown","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-tarris-reed"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360528"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360528\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/360529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
