SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs have signed Quincy Pondexter, adding a forward in the same week veteran star Manu Ginobili announced his retirement.
The 6-foot-7 Pondexter spent last season with the Chicago Bulls, averaging 2.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 8.5 minutes in 23 games. The seven-year NBA veteran out of Washington has averaged 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 17.3 minutes over 302 games with Memphis, New Orleans and Chicago.
Ginobili announced his decision to retire Monday. The 41-year-old helped the Spurs win four NBA championships in 16 seasons. This season will be the first for longtime coach Gregg Popovich without stars Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard.
