The San Antonio Spurs drafted Kyle Anderson with the final pick of the first round in 2014, but the 11-year NBA veteran is no longer the player fans remember. He was in and out of the Warriors and Heat’s rotation last season as Slo Mo averaged 16.4 minutes per game. It was his lowest playing time since 2017. Beyond that, Miami dumped him on the rebuilding Jazz in the Norman Powell trade, and no team rescued the 32-year-old.
Anderson struggled this preseason. He averaged 1.0 point, 1.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.0 block in 15.3 minutes per game, but only managed to play in two contests before a knee injury forced him to miss the final two.
