The San Antonio Spurs are set to retain veteran point guard Jordan McLaughlin, with reports indicating the two sides have agreed to a new one-year contract. NBA insider reported that the 30-year-old will return on a deal worth $3.3 million, extending his stay with the franchise after arriving in 2025 as part of the trade that brought De’Aaron Fox to San Antonio.
By re-signing McLaughlin, the Spurs have filled their required 14th roster spot while keeping a familiar presence in the backcourt. It marks the second straight year the experienced guard has agreed to a one-year minimum contract with the Silver & Black, providing valuable depth and continuity heading into the new season.
Jordan McLaughlin Returns to San Antonio Spurs on New One-Year, $3.3 Million Contract
Jordan McLaughlin is set to remain with the San Antonio Spurs, with NBA insider reporting that the veteran guard has agreed to a new one-year minimum contract. The deal is worth $3.29 million for the 2026-27 season, while counting approximately $2.45 million against San Antonio’s salary cap. The agreement keeps another familiar face in the Spurs’ backcourt for a second consecutive year.
McLaughlin’s journey to the NBA has been anything but conventional. After a four-year college career at USC, he went undrafted in 2018 and spent his first professional season in the G League with Brooklyn’s affiliate. He eventually earned a two-way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2019 and went on to spend five seasons with the franchise before joining the Sacramento Kings in 2024. He later arrived in San Antonio as part of the blockbuster trade that brought De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs in February 2025.
Although his numbers have remained modest, the Spurs continue to value McLaughlin’s experience and reliability. The 30-year-old appeared in 44 regular-season games last season, averaging 2.0 points and 0.9 assists in just over six minutes per contest. Known for his steady ball-handling and smart decision-making, McLaughlin owns an impressive 4.2-to-1 career assist-to-turnover ratio and has consistently been ready whenever injuries or roster changes created opportunities for extra minutes.
Spurs Complete 14-Man Roster While Reinforcing Championship Aspirations
The San Antonio Spurs have nearly completed their roster for the 2026-27 season, with 14 players now signed to standard contracts. After reaching the NBA Finals last season, the franchise has focused on blending experienced veterans with its exciting young core. Additions such as Tobias Harris and the return of Harrison Barnes bring proven leadership, while stars Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox continue to headline the team’s championship ambitions. The Spurs have also strengthened their future with talented youngsters including Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, Carter Bryant, and Julian Champagnie, giving the roster both depth and long-term promise.
The latest move to re-sign Jordan McLaughlin adds another dependable option to the backcourt and officially fills San Antonio’s 14th standard roster spot. With just one place still available, the Spurs retain the flexibility to either add another experienced contributor or leave room for future roster adjustments. Their balanced mix of established veterans and rising talent leaves San Antonio well-positioned to compete for another deep playoff run in the Western Conference.
