The VFL sported No. 17 for San Antonio after being selected No. 42 overall in last month’s NBA Draft. Gillespie logged a team-high workload, playing the most minutes of any Spur and the third most of any player on the floor.
The former Tennessee standout finished with 10 points, eight assists, and four rebounds. While his shooting percentage didn’t mirror that of his collegiate career, Gillespie showcased his playmaking ability in his professional debut.
