Barry, a 14-year NBA veteran, was previously with the San Antonio Spurs since 2018 as the team’s vice president of basketball operations.
“And to the (Spurs) organization-there aren’t words there is only what has already been shared,” Barry said in a separate tweet. “It is family and it is community and it is knowing that there is a life bigger than basketball. There is no place like SA and you helped raise three men, I am forever grateful.”
