The San Antonio Spurs have officially signed Harrison Ingram, their 48th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, to a Two-Way contract. This move aligns with the Spurs’ recent trend of offering Two-Way deals to second-round picks, similar to what they did with Sidy Cissoko last year, Joe Wieskamp in 2021, and Quinndary Weatherspoon in 2019.
Ingram, an alum of the University of North Carolina, joins the Spurs’ roster amid a busy offseason. The Spurs have also added veterans Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes, selected Stephon Castle with the fourth overall pick in last month’s draft, and re-signed Sandro Mamukelashvili, Charles Bassey, and David Duke Jr. With their core players, including generational talent Victor Wembanyama, already under contract, roster spots are limited.
The addition of Ingram fills the Spurs’ maximum allotment of three Two-Way contract slots, joining guards Jamaree Bouyea and David Duke Jr. in this category. This means Ingram will primarily spend his rookie season with the G League affiliate Austin Spurs.
Ingram has already made an impact in the NBA 2K25 Summer League, helping San Antonio achieve a 4-1 record while averaging 10.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steal in 28.6 minutes per game. During the Sacramento California Classic preceding the Las Vegas competition, he averaged 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over three games.
Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 235 pounds, Ingram began his college career at Stanford (2021-2023) before transferring to UNC for his junior year. At UNC, he appeared in 37 games (36 starts), averaging a career-high 12.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.4 steals in 32.8 minutes per game. He earned an ACC Player of the Week honor on February 3 and was named Third-Team All-ACC for the season. At Stanford, he played 65 games (62 starts), averaging 10.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in 29.5 minutes per game, earning the 2021-22 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year title and a spot on the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team.
Originally from Dallas, Texas, Ingram won a gold medal with Team USA at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup. He is versatile, listed as both a power forward and small forward, reflecting the position-less nature of today’s game.
