Spurs recall Joseph, send Baynes to Austin

Written by Jose Grijalva on .

The San Antonio Spurs have announced they've recalled Cory Joseph from the Austin Toros and have sent seldom used Aron Baynes to Austin.

[Press release] Joseph recalled and Baynes assigned to : (@spurs)

The Spurs may have made the move with Gary Neal being out with an injury the past few games and wanting some insurance in the point guard position. 

Baynes should be getting more minutes in Austin so he can stay ready in case the team needs him to play minutes to rest the rotational players for the playoffs.

Joseph has been having an impressive season in Austin with 19.4ppg and 5.5apg this season.

I think this is good for both players. Baynes still doesn't look quite ready, and Joseph looks like he should be given another opportunity. Hopefully, both players will benefit in this situation.

Corey Joseph should be putting up them kind of numbers coming off the bench for San Antonio. We would win every game if he did.

 @koshwayne Cory Joseph is putting up those kind of numbers against D-League teams, remember that.

 @DifferentVSTheSame  @koshwayne Hey right now our PG backups are only averaging 10 min per game and Parker is playing over 30, we need someone that can spell him as we get closer to the playoffs. Lets hope he can bring some explosion at that spot that ouor other backup are giving us right now.
