In actual basketball news, the San Antonio Spurs were able to secure a key component to their recent championship run. While rumors are running amok over key free agents around the NBA, the Spurs have quietly retained their teams core. Deciding to break the news himself, Boris Diaw announced through social media that he would be returning to the Spurs.
By agreeing to terms on a multi-year deal, Diaw ensures that the Spurs will be able to maintain the core roster that won the NBA Finals this season. San Antonio wasted no time in negotiating with their key free agents, as they’ll be looking to repeat next season. Listed in our top 25 free agents available, Diaw is a solid piece that could have benefited several teams looking to add depth. Keeping him off the market makes for a strategy well done.
