Primo was suddenly released by the Spurs on Friday night.

Attorney Tony Buzbee told ESPN he has been retained by a woman who worked for the Spurs and has alleged Primo exposed himself to her. Buzbee represented multiple women in the sexual misconduct lawsuits against NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson.

After Primo's release, San Antonio issued a brief statement.

"It is our hope that, in the long run, this decision will serve the best interest of both the organization and Joshua," Spurs chief executive officer RC Buford said.

In a statement to ESPN on Friday night, Primo acknowledged mental health issues.

"I know that you all are surprised by today's announcement," Primo said. "I've been seeking help to deal with previous trauma I suffered and will now take this time to focus on my mental health treatment more fully. I hope to be able to discuss these issues in the future so I can help others who have suffered in a similar way. I appreciate privacy at this time."

He played in the Spurs' first four games this season, averaging 7.0 points off the bench.

Primo, 19, was the 12th overall selection in the 2021 NBA draft out of Alabama.

Earlier this month, San Antonio exercised a third-year team option on Primo's rookie contract that would have kept him on the team through 2023-24.
