Spurs bring back McLaughlin

Jordan McLaughlin is returning to the San Antonio Spurs after agreeing to a one‑year, $3.3 million contract, according to his agent Greg Lawrence of THE•TEAM, who confirmed the deal to ESPN. The 30‑year‑old guard, listed at 1.80 meters and undrafted out of USC in 2018, appeared in 44 games for San Antonio last season, providing depth, stability and experience in the backcourt.

McLaughlin now enters his ninth professional season, continuing a career built on persistence and adaptability. Before joining the Spurs, he spent time with the Sacramento Kings, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Long Island Nets, gradually carving out a role as a reliable rotational guard capable of organizing the offense and defending with energy.

For San Antonio, the move adds continuity to a young roster still shaping its identity. McLaughlin’s familiarity with the system and his steady presence should help reinforce the team’s guard rotation heading into the new campaign.
