Wizards Part Ways with Dillon Jones

The Washington Wizards have waived Dillon Jones, a player acquired from the Oklahoma City Thunder just four months prior. Jones, a former standout at Weber State, had garnered attention for his candid personality and basketball intelligence. However, he has been released to comply with the NBA roster limit. Initially traded after winning a championship, Jones' journey in the league has taken a swift turn.

Despite his challenges, reports suggest that Jones may attract considerable interest from other NBA teams for a two-way contract, pending his clearance on waivers. His rookie contract, which includes $5.4 million in guaranteed money, will conclude if he is not claimed. During his time with the Thunder, he averaged 2.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 54 games and made appearances in the playoffs, including a notable performance in the NBA Finals. At Weber State, he left a significant mark, setting multiple records and achieving impressive stats during his collegiate career.
