Olympiacos is discussing a contract with Spurs Summer League standout David Jones-Garcia, according to Greek reporter Tolis Kotzias (hat tip to Sportando).
After going undrafted out of Memphis in 2024, Jones-Garcia signed a two-way contract with Philadelphia last July but was waived in September, before the 2024/25 season began. 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 wing didn’t appear in any NBA games with Utah last season. However, he was one of the top performers in the G League, finishing runner-up in voting for NBAGL Rookie of the Year.
Jones-Garcia, who is from the Dominican Republic, was 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 while shooting 47.1% from three-point range in three games for San Antonio.
The guard/forward has continued to put up big numbers for the Spurs at the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 21.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 4.0 APG and 1.5 SPG while shooting 50.0% from deep in four contests (25.4 MPG).
Olympiacos, which features multiple ex-NBA players, including Sasha Vezenkov and Evan Fournier, competes in both the EuroLeague and Greece’s top basketball league, the GBL. Olympiacos won the GBL finals last season over rival Panathinaikos.
Absurd he cant get a minimum deal with some NBA team. He looks better than most 14th or 15th guys on a roster easily.
Jerry garcia…brings me back
This dude deserves an NBA contract
