Via The Austin Spurs: “Thank you, Stanley. Wishing you the best ahead.”

Umude is averaging 1.0 points per contest while shooting 50.0% from the field in two games for the Spurs.

Via Jared Weiss of The Athletic: “The Spurs waived two-way player Stanley Umude today and signed Emanuel Miller to a two-way deal. Miller played in a few games for the Bulls this season, but then was waived by the Cavs a few days ago after they acquired him at the deadline. He’s a 6’5 wing who just dropped 31 points in the G-League last week.”

Umude has also played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons over four seasons.

His career averages are 3.0 points and 1.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 38.1% from the field and 38.6% from three-point range in 49 games.
