Taelon Peter is off the San Antonio Spurs roster as of Thursday, Oct. 15, per the official roster. The move follows an Oct. 14 report from Tom Orsborn tying him to a round of minor Spurs transactions, with confidence on that report not specified.
The move
Peter, a 24-year-old guard with one season of experience, is no longer on the San Antonio Spurs roster as of Thursday, Oct. 15, according to the official roster. The exit was preceded by a Wednesday, Oct. 14 report from Tom Orsborn, "Minor Moves: Spurs, Bezhanishvili, Moore, Robinson, Swider, Williams, Crowl," which grouped Peter with several other Spurs players in the same round of moves. The report's confidence level is not specified.
The money
Peter's contract on file lists a $2.2 million cap hit for 2026-27. San Antonio carries a $198.3 million payroll across 15 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The first apron sits at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million, both well above the Spurs' current payroll figure.
The fit
Last season Peter appeared in 38 games, averaging 13.0 minutes, 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists. San Antonio's backcourt minutes last season were led by De'Aaron Fox (31.0 min, 18.6 pts), Devin Vassell (30.5 min, 13.9 pts), Stephon Castle (30.0 min, 16.7 pts) and Dylan Harper (22.6 min, 11.8 pts). The Spurs roster stands at 18 players, 15 on standard contracts plus three on two-way deals.
