Duane Washington Jr. has been waived by the Charlotte Hornets after appearing in two preseason games, where he totaled 12 points. His release was anticipated following a trade with the New York Knicks that brought cash considerations to the Hornets. Washington, who has played 79 NBA games with the Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns, averaged 9.1 points, 1.9 assists, and 1.5 rebounds during his career. He was the most experienced player acquired in the trade and may find a spot on a G League roster, potentially with the Greensboro Swarm.
