Former San Antonio Spurs guard Joshua Primo was suspended by the NBA for four games on Friday.
NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported the news and the reason behind this suspension was termed "conduct detrimental”.
The 20-year-old is currently a free agent. Apparently, this is not the first instance for Primo. He was waived by the San Antonio Spurs on October 28, 2022.
The team initially released him, stating that Primo was seeking mental health support for trauma. However, as per the latest reports from Daily Mail, Primo allegedly exposed himself to multiple women, including female staff members who worked for the Spurs.

One of the women who accused Primo of the indecent exposure was the sports psychologist for the Spurs.
Primo hired his own lawyer. His lawyer denied the allegations and stated any exposure was “unwitting and the accuser was not acting in good faith”.
The civil lawsuit was settled in November. The case is over and there were no further comments.
The NBA’s suspension comes after their own investigation. The four games will be served once Primo signs with a new team, if he does so.
