The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed guard/forward Othyus Jeffers to a 10-day contract. Jeffers, 6-5/200, most recently played for the Iowa Energy of the NBA Development League. Through 22 games this season, Jeffers was averaging 22.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.50 steals in 38.3 minutes per game while shooting .501 (176-351) from the field. Prior to his call-up, Jeffers ranked sixth in the D-League in scoring, third in rebounding and second in steals per game.

According to Spurs coach and president of basketball Gregg Popovich it is just a matter of time and weather before swing man Othyus Jeffers joins the team on a 10-day contract. Jeffers, a 6-foot-4 player who has been on three NBA teams, including the Spurs, over the past three season, played 22 games with the D-League Iowa Energy this season and averaged 22.8 points and 11.4 rebounds. The Spurs were trying to arrange for Jeffers to catch up with the team in either Atlanta or Miami but weather that has disrupted air travel in the East has affected his travel, as well. “He will either join us (Friday) in Atlanta or (Saturday) in Miami,” Popovich said.

Jeff McDonald: According to our man in Amsterdam @Mike Monroe, Othyus Jeffers deal could be completed later today or tomorrow morning. By Amsterdam, I mean Atlanta, which I hear is just like Amsterdam only with more Chick Fil As.

Naturally then, in response to a question about the reported possibility of adding 28-year-old swingman Othyus Jeffers to the roster and the acknowledgement that they'd likely need much more help than that, it was a time for humor. "What are you talking about? He's a stopper," Popovich told USA TODAY Sports Thursday. "This guy, he's the next Scottie Pippen on defense. You've got to be kidding me. We just uncovered a gem that nobody else knows about. You watch."
