Bobcats Waive Josh Owens, DaJuan Summers

The Bobcats have waived training camp invitees Josh Owens and DaJuan Summers, the team announced. Both were on non-guaranteed deals, and their departures leave the team's roster at 14 players. Cory Higgins is the only player with a non-guaranteed contract remaining in Charlotte.

Owens, a 6'8" power forward who ranked 83rd on the list of the top 100 draft prospects this year by Chad Ford of ESPN.com (Insider only), went undrafted out of Stanford, but wound up on the Bobcats' summer league team before getting the camp invitation. He appeared in just two games over the summer, however, and didn't see any preseason game action.

Summers, also 6'8", was the 35th overall pick in 2009, but hasn't made much of an impact in three NBA seasons, averaging 3.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game for his career. He put up 2.3 PPG and 1.8 RPG over 7.5 MPG in six preseason contests for the Bobcats this month.
