July 23: Jones-Garcia has officially signed his two-way contract with the Spurs, the team announced today in a press release.
July 22: The Spurs are signing Summer League standout David Jones-Garcia to a two-way contract, ESPN’s Shams Charania tweets.
Jones-Garcia earned All-Summer First Team honors playing for San Antonio. The 6’6″ wing finished an eight-game summer campaign with averages of 22.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per contest. He posted averages of 21.6 PPG, 6.2 RPG and 3.8 APG while shooting 52.9% from 3-point range during a handful of games in Vegas.
Jones-Garcia recently turned down a three-year offer from Olympiacos and let all other European suitors know he was committed to continuing his NBA career. He’ll now focus on trying to earn a promotion to a standard NBA contract.
After going undrafted out of Memphis in 2024, Jones-Garcia signed a two-way contract with Philadelphia last July but was waived in September. He also spent about a month-and-a-half on a two-way contract with the Jazz prior to being released on January 1.
The 23-year-old didn’t appear in any NBA games with Utah last season. However, he was one of the top performers in the G League, finishing as the runner-up in voting for NBAGL Rookie of the Year.
Jones-Garcia, who is from the Dominican Republic, was also named to the All-California Classic Summer League team earlier this month after averaging 22.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals.
San Antonio hadn’t filled any of its tw0-way slots, so the team will still have two more openings when Jones-Garcia signs.
Sleeper guy. We all have to pay close attention to all the players who were aged 17-21 during the covid era, as all their developments were interrupted.
Can someone tell me how tall he is without shoes? Conflicting reports from 6’4 to 6’7
He’s currently listed at 6’6″ at basketball-reference
I have seen that but I have seen 6’4. I appreciate it. I’ll go with what you said
He measured at 6.3’5 without shoes last year at the combine.
You can find him under David Jones on the 2024 combine measurements page.

Thanks Peter. 6’3 to me is point guard height
Yeah. I don’t know what he was before getting drafted, but I think that PG is what they’ve been trying to mold him into in the G-League. In the NBA, he’s not playing anything else than a guard with his height and build.
Allen Iverson, Super John Williamson, Sam Jones, Wade and Dennis Johnson in Seattle will be exceptions as undersized SG’s.
I’m sure I missed some
Maybe Utah could have won with a better SG than Jeff H (6’3 and w) and a better backup C than Foster
Good for him – he was arguably the best player in Summer League.
Now sign Jacksen Moni on a two way contract
