After shipping him to Austin yesterday, the San Antonio Spurs announced Thursday afternoon that they have recalled rookie Dejounte Murray from the D-League Austin Spurs.
The move comes ahead of Friday’s game against the Utah Jazz that both Danny Green (left quad strain) and Tony Parker (right knee soreness) will miss.
