Spurs sign center Dieng to 10-day deal

The Spurs waived Dieng on Jan. 5 but have brought him back.

SAN ANTONIO — After being waived on Jan. 5, center Gorgui Dieng is back with the Silver and Black.

The San Antonio Spurs announced they have signed center Dieng to a 10-day contract. Per team policy, the terms of the contract were not announced.

Dieng played in 13 games and averaged 4.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 11.6 minutes before being waived. 

The 10-year NBA veteran has played in 610 total games and holds career averages of 7.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 20.4 minutes with Minnesota, Memphis, Atlanta, and San Antonio. 

This will make it three times the Spurs have brought him back to San Antonio. He played for the Spurs in the 2020-21 season, was re-signed this season, waived on Jan. 5, then signed to the current 10-day deal.

The Spurs roster now stands at 17 players.
