4 Former Aztecs Playing in the Same NBA Game?

[jcljorgenson]

FYi, the Spurs have a preseason game against the Miami Heat tomorrow. Nate Mensah and Malachi Flynn are playing for the Spurs and Keshad Johnson is fighting for a roster spot with the Miami Heat. And some breaking news, Jalen McDaniels was just traded from the Sacramento Kings to the Spurs, although it sounds like he may get waived? More info is below;

Thanks for the heads up.

Well, I didn't see Mensah on the roster and it appears he was recently waived and is expected to join the Austin Spurs in the G-League:

McD had 4 decent years in Charlotte, last year he mostly played in garbage time, but at 26 he still has good years left. McD is the same age as Mal, 26. 

Mensah also 26, known for his defensive presence and rebounding at SDSU, has offensive struggles that are ultimately impacting his chances of securing a roster spot with the Spurs this season. He is in the G-League. 

LeDee is 25, last season's top collegiate power forward to Exhibit 10 deal to Minnesota before he was cut last week. I think he'll play G-League.

Flynn also waived by the Spurs, bummer.

Keshad has a 2-way going with the Heat:
