AUSTIN, Texas -- Former Pacific Tiger Luke Avdalovic was acquired by the Austin Spurs, the G-League affiliate of the San Antonio NBA team. He is practicing with the team, preparing for the opener on November 10 against the Birmingham Squadron.
 
Avdalovic was a regular in head coach Leonard Perry's lineup as a Tiger, starting 54 of his 58 games over his two years at Pacific (2021-22, 2022-23). He scored 566 career points for the Tigers, averaging 9.8 points per game. In those two seasons, he tallied 115 three-pointers, including a team-leading 68 of 133 in his final campaign for a career-best 51.1 percent. He scored a Pacific-best 23 points in three different games for the Tigers, most recently in his final season, helping the team to a road win over Santa Clara. His first 23-point effort also came against the Broncos, this time at home during the 2021-22 season. 
 
Avdalovic scored 1,305 points in his five-year collegiate career, which included three previous seasons at Northern Arizona. His career-best 26-point effort came for the Lumberjacks in the 2021 Big Sky Conference tournament against Portland State. 
 
Avdalovic earned his bachelor's degree from Northern Arizona University and is completing his master's degree in communication from University of the Pacific. 
 
The Spurs do not travel to Stockton this season but play the Kings in Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas on February 2-3, 2024.
