St. Bonaventure's Jalen Adaway has signed an agreement with the San Antonio Spurs on an Exhibit 10 deal, reported by ESPN NBA Insider and Bona's alum Adrian Wojnarowski.
An Exhibit 10 contract is a single-season NBA deal that allows the franchise to convert the contract to a two-way deal as long as that change is made prior to the beginning of the regular season.
Adaway played in the NBA Summer League with the Miami Heat in July, appearing in four games in Las Vegas while averaging 3.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in nearly 13 minutes per game and shot 40 percent from the floor. He also played in two of the Heat's three California Classic games.
The Indiana native was selected Atlantic 10 First Team All-Conference as well as USBWA All-District as a senior after leading the Bonnies in scoring at 15.3 points per game this past season. He added nearly six rebounds in 38 minutes per contest as well, finishing the year by shooting at over a 47 percent clip.
Adaway was instrumental in Bona's success during his two seasons with the program, posting 746 points in just 53 games. He was named to the A-10 All-Championship Team as the Bonnies captured the 2021 conference crown and he reached double-figure scoring in 39 of his final 43 games with SBU. During his two seasons, Bona went 39-15 overall including 23-9 in A-10 play.
In total, he finished his collegiate career with 1,252 points and 659 rebounds after playing two seasons at Miami (OH).
