Spurs trying to sign Argentina's Nicolas Laprovittola

The San Antonio Spurs are in pursuit of a third Argentinean for their roster. The Spurs are actively lobbying Nicolas Laprovittola to make the jump to the NBA after the rugged guard's solid play in the Rio Olympics.

Laprovittola, 26, played for Estudiantes in the Spanish ACB last season and told the Argentinean newspaper ITAL La Nueva ENDITAL this week that a few NBA teams are interested in his services.
