The Spurs have signed Stanley Umude to a two-way contract, according to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News (via Twitter). To accommodate the move, the team waived 26-year-old guard Kyle Mangas.
Mangas, who signed a two-way deal earlier in December, didn’t appear in any games for the Spurs, but has made 11 appearances for the Austin Spurs, averaging 16.5 points and 5.0 assists per contest and shooting 39.3% on three-pointers.
After signing a training camp deal with San Antonio this offseason, Umude was waived prior to the season’s start to make room for Bismack Biyombo. He stayed with the Spurs’ G League team, playing 11 games and averaging 20.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals while shooting 39.5% from three on 7.8 attempts per game.
The 6’6″ guard has appeared in 47 NBA games over the course of his career, most recently with the Bucks, for whom he played 22 times last season. Prior to that, he played with the Pistons, averaging 5.3 points in 12.8 minutes per night during the 2023/24 season.
Orsborn writes that Umude is expected to play out the rest of the season with the Spurs. He’ll be eligible to be active for up to 32 games.
Since Umude is in his final season of two-way eligibility, his two-way contract will cover just one year before he returns to free agency in 2026.
