Bryce Cotton Back With Austin Spurs of NBA D-League

Bryce Cotton is back in the NBA D-League after a stint with the NBA’s Phoenix Suns. The Austin Spurs put out a release to indicate that the former Providence guard will return to the team and wear number 7. Cotton was the third NBA D-League call up of the 2015-16 season. He was with the Suns for two 10-day contracts before being waived ahead of the league’s contract guarantee deadline. Cotton was with the Suns for a total of 24 games between November 25th and January 6th. He played in 3 total games with Phoenix, averaging 11 minutes/game and 1.3 points/game.

Cotton will join Austin as the team heads to California for games on Thursday and Saturday. Ironically, the team the Spurs will face on Thursday is the Bakersfield Jam. The Jam is the affiliate team of the Phoenix Suns. Cotton’s call up just before Thanksgiving was due to the Suns’ injury issues at the guard position, but he was waived because his contract would have become fully guaranteed for the remainder of the season if he was still on the roster on January 7th.
