The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard Joshua Primo for four games … after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women.
The league announced the ban on Friday morning … saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had “engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior.”
NBA officials called his actions “conduct detrimental to the league.” They did, however, note that they “did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures.”
“Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional,” the league said.
Dr. Hillary Cauthen, Primo’s former therapist, was the first to bring the allegations against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions.
Dr. Cauthen’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo’s actions, but didn’t take action.
Cauthen went on to file a lawsuit against Primo and the Spurs … though Primo’s attorney at the time was adamant that the allegations were “a complete fabrication, a gross embellishment or utter fantasy.”
Primo — who was cut by the Spurs in October 2022 — was the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and had only appeared in 54 games before the allegations surfaced. He averaged 5.9 points and 1.8 assists per game.
