马刺队为替补席增加了更多投射深度。
继昨日（出人意料地）与夏季联赛明星 大卫·琼斯-加西亚 (David Jones-Garcia) 签下一份双向合同后，马刺队仍在继续他们的引援动作。据ESPN记者 沙姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 报道，他们今天又签下6英尺6英寸的得分后卫 林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III) ，合同为期一年。尽管合同细节尚未公布，但马刺队仍拥有310万美元的非奢侈税中产特例和510万美元的双年特例可供使用。（这似乎是一份标准合同，而非训练营合同，但如果情况有变，我们会及时更新。）
自由球员后卫林迪·沃特斯三世已同意与圣安东尼奥马刺队签下一份一年合同，Klutch Sports经纪公司的经纪人 沙伊·萨伊 (Shy Saee) 和 温斯顿·纳尔逊 (Winston Nelson) 告诉ESPN。林迪·沃特斯三世在其NBA生涯的前四个赛季中，分别效力于俄克拉荷马城、金州和底特律，三分命中率达到37%。pic.twitter.com/RuUuvXfvdf

林迪·沃特斯三世是基奥瓦部落的公民，也拥有切罗基血统，是NBA中仅有的三名美洲原住民球员之一，另两位是 凯里·欧文 (Kyrie Irving) 和 马尔乔恩·比彻姆 (MarJon Beauchamp) 。林迪·沃特斯三世在俄克拉荷马州的诺曼市读高中，随后在俄克拉荷马州立大学打满了四年大学篮球。在2020年选秀中落选后，他效力于TBL联赛的恩尼德亡命徒队，随后在2021年通过试训进入G联盟的俄克拉荷马城蓝队。
2022年，他与雷霆队签下了一份双向合同，该合同随后于2023年转为标准合同。2024年，他被交易至勇士队，并于今年2月作为 吉米·巴特勒 (Jimmy Butler) 交易的一部分被送往活塞队。尽管是一名流浪球员，但林迪·沃特斯三世是一名高于联盟平均水准的三分射手，职业生涯579次三分出手命中率达到36.6%，其中有三个赛季命中率超过37%。虽然156场比赛（场均3.7次出手）的样本量不算巨大，但足以证明他的能力。马刺队在后卫线上已经拥有足够的深度，因此除非出现伤病，他可能不会在主要轮换中获得太多出场时间，但他仍然是一名可靠的替补球员，能够在关键时刻提供外线投射。
随着沃特斯的加入，马刺队目前已填满14个主力阵容名额，这达到了常规赛开始时的最低要求。如果他们愿意，队中仍有一个空余的主力阵容名额，以及两个双向合同名额。他们还持有 莱利·米尼克斯 (Riley Minix) 和 哈里森·英格拉姆 (Harrison Ingram) 的资质报价。
欢迎来到圣安东尼奥，林迪！

Report: Spurs sign Lindy Waters III to one-year deal
The Spurs add more shooting depth to the bench.
After (surprisingly) signing Summer League star David Jones-Garcia to a two-way deal yesterday, the Spurs aren’t done making moves yet. Today, they are reportedly signing 6’6” shooting guard Lindy Waters III to a one year deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. While the details of the contract have not been released, the Spurs still have $3.1 million of the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception and $5.1 million of the Bi-Annual exception to work with. (This also appears to be a standard contract, not a training camp signing, but we’ll provide an update if that ends up not being the case.)

A citizen of the Kiowa Tribe and also of Cherokee decent, Waters is one of just three Native American players in the NBA, with Kyrie Irving and MarJon Beauchamp also having Native American ancestry. Waters went to high school in Norman, Oklahoma before playing college ball at Oklahoma State all four years. After going undrafted in 2020, he played for the Enid Outlaws of The Basketball League before trying out and making the G League’s Oklahoma City Blue in 2021.
He signed a two-way contract with the Thunder in 2022, which was later converted to a standard contract in 2023. He was then traded to the Warriors in 2024, and finally to the Pistons in February of this year as part of the Jimmy Butler trade. Despite being a journeyman, Waters is an above average three-point shooter, hitting 36.6% of his 579 attempts in his career, and above 37% in three of his four seasons. While 156 games (3.7 attempts per game) isn’t a huge sample size, it’s enough to not take for granted. The Spurs already have plenty of depth at guard, so he likely won’t see much time with the main rotation barring injuries, but he’s still a solid depth piece who can provide outside shooting in a pinch.
With the addition of Waters, the Spurs have 14 main roster spots filled, which is the minimum requirement at the start of the regular season. They still have one more roster spot open if they wish to use it, as well as two two-way spots. They also still hold Riley Minix and Harrison Ingram’s qualifying offers.
Welcome to San Antonio, Lindy!
