Terry Taylor is no longer on the San Antonio Spurs' roster, according to the team's official roster as of Thursday, Oct. 15. The move followed a Wednesday report from Tom Orsborn naming Taylor among several minor Spurs transactions.
The move
Taylor, a 27-year-old forward with four seasons of NBA experience, leaves the San Antonio Spurs' roster, according to the team's official roster as of Thursday, Oct. 15. He is not listed on any other roster. The move follows a Wednesday, Oct. 14 report from Tom Orsborn, "Minor Moves: Spurs, Bezhanishvili, Moore, Robinson, Swider, Williams, Crowl," which named Taylor among several minor San Antonio transactions. The report's confidence level was not given.
The money
Taylor's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so no cap hit or contract length is available for him. The Spurs carry a payroll of $198.3 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax. San Antonio also sits below the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.
The fit
Taylor had no NBA line last season. At forward, the Spurs' rotation last season included Julian Champagnie (27.6 minutes, 11.1 points), Harrison Barnes (25.8 minutes, 9.9 points) and Keldon Johnson (23.3 minutes, 13.2 points), with Victor Wembanyama (29.2 minutes, 25.0 points) also logging heavy minutes up front. San Antonio now carries 18 players on its roster: 15 on standard contracts and three on two-way deals.
