The Spurs kept trimming their training camp group on the eve of the 2026/27 season, waiving Taelon Peter and Malik Williams, according to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News (via Twitter). San Antonio also let go of Terry Taylor, who had signed a non-guaranteed training camp deal earlier in the day, per the NBA’s transaction log.
Those moves came one day after the Spurs waived RJ Davis, who was also on a training camp contract.
Peter had been on an Exhibit 10 deal since early October, while Williams joined the roster in late September. All three players can still earn a bonus worth up to $91K in addition to their base salary if they spend at least 60 days with the Austin Spurs, San Antonio’s G League affiliate.
Around the league, other teams continued to make their own final roster adjustments. Atlanta signed free agent forward Giorgi Bezhanishvili to an Exhibit 10 contract, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reported on Twitter. The 6’9″, 27-year-old from Rustavi, Georgia, spent last season with the Windy City Bulls, the Bulls’ G League affiliate, where he appeared in 50 games and averaged 11.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 40.0% shooting from three in 29.0 minutes per game.
Utah brought in forward Chance Moore, the team announced in a press release. The Jazz didn’t reveal the terms, though the move is likely an Exhibit 10 training camp deal. Moore, a 6’6″ wing, went undrafted in 2026 after posting 10.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per game as a senior at West Virginia.
Cleveland moved on from Jaxson Robinson after signing him to a training camp deal earlier in the week, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot noted on Twitter. The 6’7″ wing spent much of last season with the Cleveland Charge.
Elsewhere, three more players were waived on Wednesday: Cole Swider by the Lakers, DeAndre Williams by the Clippers and Steven Crowl by the Nuggets, per Garcia (via Twitter). Swider has logged 35 NBA games across three seasons with the Lakers, Heat, Pistons and Raptors, while Williams and Crowl have yet to appear in an NBA game.

Spurs Rookie Battle Is Heating Up After A Brutal First-Round Setback
A rough first-round setback has already changed the Spurs rookie outlook, with Jayden Quaintance now expected to miss most or all of his first season after meniscus surgery. That leaves the rest of the class with a bigger opportunity than anyone in San Antonio probably imagined when the draft ended, and it has quickly made preseason production matter a lot more than pedigree.
Tarris Reed Jr. and JaKobi Gillespie have both flashed enough to keep the conversation going, and coach Mitch Johnson has singled out Gillespie for the energy and competitiveness he has brought so far. San Antonio is still sorting through how its lineup will settle in as the season approaches, and with second-year players like Carter Bryant expected to take another step, the rookie competition has become one more layer in a roster that already carries real expectations.

Spurs Just Added A Camp Body And The Next Cut Matters
The Spurs have filled their final preseason roster slot by signing forward Terry Taylor to a non-guaranteed training camp contract, a move that comes after waiving RJ Davis and pushes San Antonio to the league maximum of 21 players. Taylor brings NBA experience from multiple teams and is expected to spend time with the Austin Spurs, giving the organization another veteran body to evaluate as camp gets underway.
For San Antonio, the signing is less about immediate rotation help than about keeping options open as the roster sorts itself out over the next round of cuts. Taylors deal fits that camp competition, and it also mirrors the kind of depth maneuver other teams are making right now, like Sacramento bringing back center Viktor Lakhin on an Exhibit 10 contract to bolster its frontcourt after injuries.

Spurs May Be Seeing An Early Answer Behind Victor Wembanyama
Tarris Reed Jr. has started to look like the kind of rookie big man the Spurs can actually use right away. During the preseason, the center has flashed real value on the glass and at the rim, including a 17-rebound outing against Utah and another strong showing against Phoenix with three blocks and nine rebounds, the kind of production that catches a staffs attention even in exhibition games.
For a team trying to build dependable depth behind Victor Wembanyama, Reeds early work has at least opened the door to a meaningful role. He has talked about keeping his effort and persistence level high as he tries to earn steady minutes, and that approach matters for a roster that needs interior defense and rebounding whenever Wembanyama sits.
