Joshua Primo suspended

September 29, 2023

NEW YORK – The NBA announced today that Joshua Primo has been suspended four games without pay for conduct detrimental to the league.

The league conducted its own investigation and consulted with relevant experts. Following that 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 has not played in the NBA since his contract was terminated by the San Antonio Spurs on October 31, 2022.
