The move

Jon Elmore is off the San Antonio Spurs' roster, a move detected Friday, Oct. 16, from the team's official roster. The 30-year-old guard goes from San Antonio to off the roster, ending a stint that never produced an NBA line. He entered this season as a rookie despite his age, and no injury report preceded the move; none is logged for him in the official injury report.

The money

Elmore's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, and no cap hit or years are confirmed for him. The Spurs carry a payroll of $198.3 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, putting them over the salary cap but under the luxury tax. The cap sits at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million.

The fit

Elmore has no NBA line from last season entering this move. At guard, San Antonio's rotation leans on De'Aaron Fox, who played 31.0 minutes and scored 18.6 points per game last season, Devin Vassell at 30.5 minutes and 13.9 points, Stephon Castle at 30.0 minutes and 16.7 points, and Dylan Harper at 22.6 minutes and 11.8 points. The Spurs now carry 18 players on the roster, 15 on standard contracts and three on two-way deals.
