The preseason cuts continue across the league — and a few familiar names are on the move.
The Charlotte Hornets have officially waived Spencer Dinwiddie, the 11-year veteran who joined the team this summer. With guaranteed salaries piling up before opening night, Charlotte had to make the tough call — and Dinwiddie’s one-year deal became the casualty.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are making a smart pickup. They’ve signed Ron Harper Jr. to a two-way contract, giving him a roster spot after an impressive preseason run. Harper, now entering his fourth NBA season, adds depth and defensive energy to a Celtics team ready to chase another Finals run.
But not all the news is positive. The Detroit Pistons announced that Jaden Ivey underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee. He’ll be re-evaluated in four weeks, a tough setback for the explosive young guard looking to take a leap this season.
It’s a reminder that while the stars and storylines dominate, roster balance, health, and depth are what separate contenders from the rest.
