(Ime) Udoka, a 6-foot-6 swingman, signed a two-year deal worth a total of just over $2 million in the summer of 2007. He makes no secret of the fact that he would prefer to re-up with the Spurs when it expires in July.
Over the next few weeks or months, Udoka will make his sales pitch. His performance in the playoffs should go a long way toward determining his future.
“The way I've always approached it as a free agent in the past, I'm going to play hard,” Udoka said. “You're not only playing for your team but for the rest of the league. At least, that's how I had to look at it in the past.”
Udoka, 31, has earned increased minutes in Gregg Popovich's bench rotation lately, mostly due to his defense, and has made the most of them. In Sunday's loss to Houston, he scored a season-high 16 points, shooting 7 of 9 from the floor and collecting seven rebounds.
Good move by his agent because the last couple of games have been his best this season.
