Spurs Waive Kyle Mangas, Sign Stanley Umude

The Spurs have signed Stanley Umude to a two-way deal, according to Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News (via Twitter). To accommodate the move, they waived 26-year-old guard Kyle Mangas.

Mangas, who signed a two-way deal earlier in December, did not play a game for the Spurs, but played 11 games for the Austin Spurs, averaging 16.5 points and 5.0 assists on 39.3% shooting from deep.

After signing a training camp deal with San Antonio this offseason, Umude was waived prior to the season’s start to make room for Bismack Biyombo. He stayed with the Spurs’ G League team, playing 11 games and averaging 20.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals while shooting 39.5% from three on 7.8 attempts per game.

The 6’6″ guard has played 47 NBA games over his career, most recently with the Bucks, for whom he appeared in 22 games last season. Prior to that, he played with the Pistons, averaging 5.3 points in 12.8 minutes during the 2023/24 season.

Orsborn writes that Umude is expected to play out the rest of the season with the Spurs.
