Spurs add pair of assistants to HC Mitch Johnson's staff

The San Antonio Spurs have hired Tim Martin and Scott King as assistant coaches under Mitch Johnson, according to a team press release.

As previously reported, Sean Sweeney has been named the team’s associate head coach and Corliss Williamson has also joined the staff as an assistant.

Martin will serve as an assistant coach/player development, bringing more than 15 years of experience as an NBA skills trainer since 2008. King led San Antonio’s G League affiliate, the Austin Spurs, to a Western Conference Finals appearance as head coach last season. He was named G League Coach of the Year. Before his time in Austin, King spent five seasons on the Knicks’ staff.

Sweeney had been an assistant under Jason Kidd with the Nets and Bucks as well as the Mavericks. Sweeney’s name has frequently popped up when head coaching jobs have come open but he has yet to land one of those coveted positions. Williamson spent the past two seasons as an assistant for the Timberwolves.

Rounding out the staff, Jimmy Baron and Josh Brannon have been promoted to assistant coach/player development as well. Joining the Spurs player development staff is Rashard Lewis, while Andrew Weatherman will serve a coaching analyst and Madison Clower will have the role of player development analyst.

Lewis, who had a 16-year career as an NBA player, previously served as an assistant coach with the Pistons during the 2022-23 season.
