Warriors’ Omari Spellman has lost weight, but can he keep job?

OKLAHOMA CITY — Omari Spellman had mixed emotions. On the one hand, he felt rejected. On the other hand, he had an opportunity to start fresh.

“To tell you the truth, I was just in a slump. Like in a rut, man. It was hard for me to get out of,” Spellman said this week. “Worked through it and now I’m on the other side of it, trying to get back to where I want to be.”

In July, a year after selecting him with the 30th pick in the draft, the Atlanta Hawks traded Spellman to the Warriors.
