The Spurs added free‑agent forward Terry Taylor on a non‑guaranteed training‑camp contract, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. San Antonio’s roster now hits the preseason limit of 21 after waiving former North Carolina guard RJ Davis on Tuesday.
Taylor brings four NBA seasons, appearing in 98 regular‑season games for Indiana, Chicago and Sacramento between 2022‑25. The 27‑year‑old averaged 4.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 12 minutes per game, and for my money his experience could translate into valuable minutes.
His latest NBA stint was a 10‑day contract with Sacramento in the latter half of the 2024/25 season. The 6‑foot‑5 forward spent most of last year with the Brisbane Bullets in Australia’s NBL before returning to the U.S. to finish the G League season with the Iowa Wolves. He also donned a USA jersey during the first World Cup qualifying window of the 2026 offseason.
Taylor’s returning rights moved from Iowa to the Austin Spurs in August, so it’s likely he’ll be waived before the regular season and head to Austin. If he signs an Exhibit 10 deal—a near certainty—he could earn up to a $91 K bonus on top of his G League salary after 60 days in the NBAGL.
The Kings also completed a non‑guaranteed camp contract, re‑signing their center on an Exhibit 10 deal after cutting him earlier this month, reported Keith Smith of Spotrac.
Stockton obtained Lakhin’s G League rights in the same six‑team trade that sent Taylor’s rights to Austin, suggesting the plan was for him to return to Stockton this fall and chase a $91 K bonus.
Injuries have thinned Sacramento’s frontcourt since Lakhin’s release. Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell are out for weeks with knee and calf issues, while Precious Achiuwa left Tuesday’s preseason game early due to a right ankle injury (via James Ham of The Kings Beat). With the Kings scrambling for interior depth, Lakhin may land the open two‑way contract for the regular season.
Undrafted out of Clemson in 2025, Lakhin posted 10.3 points and 7.1 rebounds over 31 NBAGL games with the Oklahoma City Blue last season. Will Lakhin secure a regular‑season roster spot with Sacramento?
