With LaMarcus Aldridge out for the season, San Antonio needs frontcourt depth, and Zeller does that for them.
Zeller, 7-0/255, holds career averages of 7.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 17.6 minutes while shooting .509 from the field in 412 total games. The former UNC Tarheel was selected by Dallas with the 17th overall pick in the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft before being dealt in a Draft night trade to Cleveland (2012-14), where he spent his first two seasons.
A seven-year NBA veteran, Zeller, has also spent time with Boston (2014-17), Milwaukee (2017-18), Brooklyn (2017-18), Atlanta (2018-19), and Memphis (2018-19). In 2014-15, his first year with the Celtics, he averaged career-bests in scoring (10.2 ppg) and rebounding (5.7 RPG) while playing in all 82 games.
