ESPN authoritative journalist Shams Charania updated his social media account, writing: Riley Minix, a forward player who was in free agency, will complete a contract renewal with his old club San Antonio Spurs, and he will get another two-way contract from the Spurs. "Riley Minnix played for the Spurs and the NBA Development League team of the Spurs last season. He played for the Spurs in a total of 1 game in the NBA arena.

Minnix was born in September 2000. He is 24 years old, 201cm tall and weighs 104kg. He was the undraft in the NBA draft last year. Although he was just a undraft, with his outstanding performance in the summer league, training camp and preseason, Minnix got a two-way contract from the Spurs, which was considered to be a result of the completion. In the NBA regular season last season, Minnix only played for the Spurs. Once, because he played too little, he did not have any outstanding performance. In the NBA Development League last season, Minnis played 19 times for the Spurs' subordinate team Austin Spurs, with averaging 31.6 minutes per game, with averaging 19 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 52.8% from the field, 42% from three-point shooting percentage and 85.3% from free throws.

Minnis previously represented the Spurs in the NBA Summer League again. He played in the Summer League in total. 5 times, averaged 23.9 minutes per game, averaged 10.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.4 blocks, 1.2 turnovers and 3.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 45%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%. Minnix's performance in the NBA Development League and the Summer League is quite good. His scoring ability and shooting ability are quite stable, and he has also proved that he has the ability to cause a lot of trouble for his opponents on the offensive end. At least in terms of scoring and shooting, his performance is still very stable. Of course, his ability and contribution in other aspects are indeed average. , not that outstanding.

From the Spurs' perspective, Minnis is also a qualified two-way contract player, but he really has not got enough opportunities to play in the NBA, and he has no way to show his strength in all aspects. Next, we can continue to pay attention to what kind of performance Minnis will perform in the preseason, can he maintain enough competitiveness and hold his two-way contract? Considering that the Spurs still need excellent outside pitchers, can Minnis get more playing time and performance opportunities next season?
