NBA Official Ticket! Spurs will be suspended for 4 games: Multiple exposure to women hurts the league

The NBA officially announced a fine that suspended former Spurs player Joshua Primo for 4 games for actions that damaged the league; If he signs a new team, he will be suspended without pay; The 20-year-old Primo is currently unemployed, but will still receive $8.4 million from the Spurs for the next two years.

The NBA officially announced that Primo was suspended for 4 games for misconduct, and after the league investigated and consulted relevant experts, it was learned that Primo was accused of inappropriate and offensive behavior by exposing his body to a woman last year. Primo insisted it was not intentional, and the league has not found any evidence that Primo committed similar misconduct elsewhere. But despite this, such behavior is still not in line with the norms and discipline of the Union.

Since being cut by the Spurs on October 31 last year, Primo has not played in the NBA.

It is reported that the ban will be carried out after Primo is signed by the new team; Salary expert Bobby Marks added that under the league's new suspension rules, if Primo does not sign any NBA teams in the new season, then he can end the suspension after Game 6 (1.5×4) of the new season; If Primo signs with an NBA team, the 4 bans will start from the first game of the regular season.

Primo is only 20 years old, he is the No. 12 pick in the first round of 2021, he is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 86 kilograms.

At the end of October last year, Primo was cut by Spurs for being accused of repeatedly exposing his body to women; At the time, Primo himself said: "I have been seeking help to try to solve the trauma I have suffered, and now, I will use this time to focus on my own mental health treatment." I hope to have the opportunity to discuss these issues openly and honestly in the future, so that I can help others who are suffering similarly. I'm thankful for the Spurs for protecting my privacy.

Primo is currently unemployed, but the Spurs will still pay him $8.4 million for the next two seasons; In the 22-23 season, Primo played in 4 games for the Spurs, averaging 7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game; in 50 games in the 21-22 season, averaging 5.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
