Forward Wesley Witherspoon, who saw action in three preseason games for the San Antonio Spurs in 2012 as an undrafted rookie, has joined the Shimane Susanoo Magic, the bj-league club announced on Wednesday.
The 206-cm Witherspoon fills a roster spot vacated by power forward James Padgett, who was released this week.
Padgett averaged 4.8 points in 23 games, reaching double figures in scoring on just two occasions, none since Oct. 19.
