SAN ANTONIO - The journey of Daulton Hommes' basketball career added another chapter as the 6-8 guard was assigned to the San Antonio Spurs' G League team, the Austin Spurs.
 
Hommes was the final player cut from the Spurs' NBA team, following the team's last preseason game on Friday, Oct. 18. He appeared in four preseason games for San Antonio after signing an Exhibit 10 contract with them in August.
 
Hommes was the 2018-19 NABC Division II National Player of the Year. He averaged 21.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game as a junior while helping lead PLNU to the national championship game. He then declared for the NBA Draft and saw action in four Summer League games with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he averaged 8.8 points and 1.6 rebounds per game.
 
By waiving Hommes, the Spurs have reduced their roster total to the regular-season limit of 15 players on standard deals and two on two-way contracts.
 
The Austin Spurs will open their 2019-20 season on Friday, Nov. 8 against the defending league champions, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, in Cedar Park, Texas. The game will tip-off at 5:30 p.m. PST.
