David Jones-García has agreed to a two-way NBA contract with the San Antonio Spurs for the 2025-26 season, as reported by ESPN's Shams Charania and confirmed by his agents. The Dominican-born guard earned this opportunity after being named to the All-Summer League First Team, where he averaged 22 points and 6 rebounds per game while shooting 53% from three-point range, showcasing his sharpshooting abilities.
As a versatile wing player, Jones-García is expected to add depth to the Spurs' bench and compete for playing time alongside teammates like Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, and Keldon Johnson. He will join a promising young roster led by Victor Wembanyama, enhancing the team's prospects for the upcoming season.
Prior to this signing, Jones-García had a journey through the NBA and G League: he signed a two-way deal with the Philadelphia 76ers in July 2024 but was waived before the season started, leading him to play for the Mexico City Capitanes in the G League. His performance there attracted the Utah Jazz, who signed him to another two-way contract, but he was later released and finished the season back with the Capitanes.
Jones-García's basketball background includes a four-year college career across three programs—starting at DePaul, spending a season at St. John's, and concluding with the Memphis Tigers. Despite going undrafted in 2024, his resilience and development in the Summer League paved the way for this new NBA opportunity with the Spurs.
