Almost one year since his most recent game, Josh Primo has been suspended for four games without pay by the NBA “for conduct detrimental to the league.”

The San Antonio Spurs stunned the NBA when they waived Primo on Oct. 28, 2022, without providing a reason.

Primo had joined San Antonio from Alabama as the 12th selection in the 2021 NBA Draft, and the Spurs had exercised their $4.3 million option for the third season of his rookie contract only 18 days before releasing him.

“The league conducted its own investigation and consulted with relevant experts,” the NBA said in a press release on Friday. “Following the process, the league found that Primo engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior by exposing himself to women. Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional, and the league did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures.

“Nevertheless, this behavior does not conform to league standards and warrants discipline.”

Primo remains out of the NBA and would have to serve his suspension if he’s on a team for the 2023-24 season, which tips off on Oct. 24 — exactly one year since Primo’s most recent game.

In November 2022, lawsuits were filed against Primo and the Spurs. In announcing the lawsuits, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee alleged Primo had exposed himself to Dr. Hillary Cauthen on multiple occasions when she worked for San Antonio. When Cauthen brought the matter to the attention of the NBA team’s management, she was assured it would be addressed, Buzbee said, but instead she was marginalized and, ultimately, lost her position as a consulting psychologist with the Spurs.

Cauthen said because San Antonio’s management failed to address the matter, other women had to endure what she did.

The lawsuits were resolved without going to court about two weeks after they were filed.

After averaging 8.1 points per game in his only season at Alabama, Primo averaged 5.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 50 games while also playing in 12 games with the Austin Spurs of the NBA G League in his rookie season.

Primo played in San Antonio’s first four games of the 2022-23 NBA season. He averaged 7.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 23.3 minutes per game before being released.
