A new era is expected to kick off in Austin as the team officially announced the hiring of new head coach Scott King, who started his professional journey as a video intern for the Indiana Mad Ants, the G League affiliate of the Indiana Pacers, in 2017.
Although King joined the Detroit Pistons during the 2018-19 season in a similar position with the organization, it was when he joined the New York Knicks as the head video coordinator that Scott King truly found his niche in 2019. Three years later, he was promoted to assistant director of player development, working closely with Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau in the process.
With several new additions for the Austin Spurs, the mantra will truly remain the constant: Hustle, Dedication, and Consistency as these young prospects look to solidify their spots in Austin with the opportunity to carve out a role with the San Antonio Spurs or potentially a new NBA team
