SAN ANTONIO — The Summer Spurs are off to a hot start in Las Vegas for the Summer League after defeating the Hawks 79-76.
Jamaree Bouyea led the Spurs with 12 points, four assists, and three steals. D'Moi Hodge added 13 points, and Nathan Mensah had 10.
Rookie Stephon Castle did not play. He is out for the remainder of the team's Summer League games.
The Summer Spurs will next play the Pelicans on Tuesday, July 16.
PAUL'S CONTRACT HAS INCENTIVES
The Spurs have officially announced that Chris Paul is a member of the team. His contract details include a few incentives.
According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, Paul inked a one-year deal worth $10.5 million. His deal includes eight bonuses, including a $262,000 incentive if the Spurs (or the team he finishes the season with) win 32 games or more.
The Spurs may reach 32 wins, especially with Paul and veteran Harrison Barnes on board.
Add Victor Wembanyama's presence and continued development to the young roster's growing experience, and it should be easy for San Antonio to reach 32 wins or more.
