On August 6, according to the well-known NBA reporter Shams Charania, ESPN sources confirmed that free agent forward Riley Minnix has reached an agreement with the San Antonio Spurs, and the two sides will sign a two-way contract again.

Looking back on last season, Minnis's Spurs journey was quite short. He only played in one regular season game for the team, but he underwent surgery in January due to a serious injury of a cleft lip on his left shoulder joint, causing the season to end early. However, during his recovery, he showed a good form with the Austin Spurs in the Development League. In the 19 games he played, Minnix averaged 31.6 minutes per game, scoring 19.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and contributing 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals. Both offense and defense were quite balanced.

NBA Summer League this summer has become an excellent stage for Minnix to prove that he is fully recovering and improving his condition. He averaged 12 points and 5 rebounds per game. What was even more impressive was that his three-point line felt hot and his shooting percentage exceeded 50%! In the game against the Utah Jazz, he ushered in an explosion, scoring comprehensive data of 15 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, and hit a buzzer-beating final moment to help the team beat their opponents.

Minicks has distinctive characteristics in their playing style. He has reliable outside projection ability and is a widely recognized high-quality shooter. At the same time, he knows how to use his body advantages to make important contributions to the team in rebounding. His enthusiasm and unremitting efforts on the defensive end have won public praise from Spurs summer league coach Mike Noyce. Noyce said: "Riley puts all his strength into every round on the court, which is a trait that our team culture values."
