Less than a week from the start of training camp, the Spurs are still putting the finishing touches on their roster.

Free agent center Joel Anthony is scheduled to join the Spurs once a training camp deal is finalized, sources told the Express-News on Monday. The contract is expected to be non-guaranteed.

The 34-year-old spent the last two seasons with the Detroit Pistons, who waived him in July before signing former Spur Boban Marjanovic.

Anthony, who is 6-foot-9, adds more veteran front court depth for the Spurs, who will enter camp with LaMarcus Aldridge, Pau Gasol, Dewayne Dedmon and David Lee as the only other experienced big men on the roster.

Anthony has averaged 2.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in nine seasons, including stints with the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics.

With the addition of Anthony, the Spurs roster would include 18 players.
