Nelson Jr. averaged a career-high 20.6 points in his last season with Delaware before averaging 11.2 points per game with the Horned Frogs last season.

He will join a Spurs Summer League roster that is seeking to develop young players to play alongside budding megastar Victor Wembanyama.

Last season, the Spurs finished 14th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference, suggesting there may be hope for Nelson Jr. to find a place and contribute as a rookie if he has a strong Summer League showing.
