Gorgui Dieng signed with the Spurs after a buyout when they were trying to win in 2021.
Now, as San Antonio rebuilds, Dieng is returning after spending last season with the Hawks.

Dieng, 32, doesn’t really fit the Spurs’ long-term plan.
But they clearly know him well and believe he’ll be a good presence in their locker room.
Dieng’s playing time will depend whether San Antonio keeps Jakob Poeltl (a prime trade candidate as the Spurs seek longer-term assets) and whether Zach Collins stays healthy.
