The 34 year old Anthony was in San Antonio’s training camp, so he has more than a passing familiarity with the Spurs’ system. It’s unclear what kind of playing time he’ll get, but the news is at least a little disheartening for any fans who were looking forward to seeing more playing time for Davis Bertans.

More to come as this story unfolds.
