The Charlotte Hornets waived guard Spencer Dinwiddie on Thursday, just three months after signing him to a one-year contract.
The Hornets didn’t release details, but ESPN reported the Hornets needed to release a guaranteed salary ahead of the season opener next week. Dinwiddie’s guaranteed deal, signed July 13, is worth $3.6 million, per Spotrac.
Dinwiddie, 32, averaged 11.0 and 4.4 assists in 79 games (30 starts) last season with the Dallas Mavericks.
For his career, Dinwiddie is averaging 13.0 points and 5.1 assists in 621 games (345 starts) with the Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers and Mavericks. He averaged a career-best 20.6 points per game in 2019-20 with Brooklyn.
Dinwiddie was selected in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft by the Pistons.
