However, signs point to Potter signing a non-guaranteed training camp contract, whether that be an Exhibit 9 or 10 deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_e0uj3kp3w\">It effectively puts a period on Potter&#8217;s three-year stretch in Utah, who came aboard on a two-way deal with the Jazz during the 2022 offseason, which came after his rookie season was with the Detroit Pistons on just a 10-day contract. He would spend his entire time in Utah on a two-way deal, spending time back and forth between the Jazz and the Salt Lake City Stars, playing in 61 total NBA games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_j5qfoeteh\">Yet, with the three-year window now expired on Potter&#8217;s two-way eligibility, the Jazz were unable to bring him on the same terms for a fourth year. And considering Utah&#8217;s current roster already holds 16 traditional contracts for the 2025-26 season, there wasn&#8217;t really a seamless fit for the 27-year-old to return.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"Mar 17, 2025; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA;  Utah Jazz center Micah Potter (25) warms up before the game against the Chicago Bul\" title=\"Mar 17, 2025; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA;  Utah Jazz center Micah Potter (25) warms up before the game against the Chicago Bul\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mar 17, 2025; Salt Lake City, Utah, USA;  Utah Jazz center Micah Potter (25) warms up before the game against the Chicago Bulls at Delta Center.

His best year in Utah came across his most recent season, playing in 38 total games to average a career-best 4.3 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vnbivu1hv\">Potter was also a member of the USA Men&#8217;s Select Team in preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics; one of the many names brought in to help train and practice with the USA Men&#8217;s National Team before their eventual gold medal win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ya3u8h0qj\">Now, Potter finds his way to San Antonio, joining as a depth piece in the frontcourt behind budding French phenom Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs&#8217; center rotation will also hold the likes of Luke Kornet and even former Jazz big man Kelly Olynyk for the year ahead.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"Mar 31, 2024; Sacramento, California, USA; Utah Jazz center Micah Potter (25) shoots against Sacramento Kings forward Sasha V\" title=\"Mar 31, 2024; Sacramento, California, USA; Utah Jazz center Micah Potter (25) shoots against Sacramento Kings forward Sasha V\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mar 31, 2024; Sacramento, California, USA; Utah Jazz center Micah Potter (25) shoots against Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov (7) during the third quarter at Golden 1 Center.

Considering he&#8217;ll likely be inked to a non-guaranteed camp deal, it leaves the Spurs with no strings attached if they want to cut him before October&#8217;s tip-off, making for a big two months to prove himself on the horizon for the now-former Jazz big.<\/p>\n<p>More Utah Jazz Content<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A member of the Utah Jazz for the past three seasons is officially headed to a new home&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":132768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-132767","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-san-antonio","10":"tag-sanantonio","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115001064380913862","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
