Exclusive: Garrett Temple to be Waived
By Stephen KerseySan Antonio Dispatch |
Garrett Temple has been waived by the San Antonio Spurs, according to sources close to the team. Temple appeared in three games this season, totaling two points, two rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes of play.
He was originally signed by the Spurs on March 13th, 2010. After injuries depleted San Antonio’s point guard position, Temple stepped in and performed better than expected. He started four games, averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists. In his first start, he scored 15 points, dished off four assists and grabbed three rebounds in leading the Spurs to a 95-86 win over the Sacramento Kings.
This past summer, Temple was supposed to be featured on San Antonio’s summer league team. However, in his first outing of summer league, the undrafted guard out of LSU suffered a sprained ankle that kept him out the remainder of the games.
During exhibition play this season, Temple failed to impress. In seven games, he averaged 3.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds. He shot 36% from the field and missed both of his three-point attempts.
