The San Antonio Spurs have acquired the No. 26 overall pick in the NBA Draft from the Denver Nuggets, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Spurs used the selection to draft Tarris Reed Jr.
In exchange for the first-round pick, the Nuggets receive the No. 35 overall selection and two future second-round picks from San Antonio. This move allows Denver to move back in the draft order while adding future draft capital to their arsenal, while the Spurs aggressively moved up to secure Reed Jr. late in the first round.
The trade marks one of the first major pick swaps of the evening, as teams look to navigate the draft board. For the Spurs, the addition of Tarris Reed Jr. provides immediate frontcourt depth. The Nuggets will now look toward the early second round to make their next selection with the No. 35 pick acquired in this deal.
