Now, Tyon Grant-Foster is getting his shot with the Western Conference champions San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Summer League after being late to the offseason workout game with NBA franchises leading up to the draft. This was first reported by DraftExpress’s Jon Chepkevich.
In his last and only college basketball campaign with the Gonzaga Bulldogs, the 26-year-old from Kansas City, Missouri, averaged 11.1 points on a shooting split of 47.5 field goal percentage, 26.2 three-point percentage, and 61.1 free throw percentage in 35 games played. Grant-Foster made his impact for coach Mark Few as a defender, chipping in 5.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 0.8 steals per game for the Zags.
He had stops with the Kansas Jayhawks in 2020-21, DePaul Blue Demons in 2021-22, and Grand Canyon Antelopes for two seasons from 2023-25.
Grant-Foster’s first opportunity in a Spurs uniform will come at the 2026 California Classic, a summer league taking place inside both the Golden State Warriors’ Chase Center and Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Center from July 3 through 6. Following that, the 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada, runs from July 9 through 19.
