9:39am: The Magic announced the Brazdeikis signing (via Twitter) and have released Hall from his 10-day contract a day before it would have expired.
8:33 am: Ignas Brazdeikis will sign a 10-day contract with the Magic, tweets Josh Robbins of The Athletic.
Brazdeikis, 22, started the season with the Knicks, but only played four games before being traded to the Sixers in March. He got into one game for Philadelphia, but was waived last month to open a roster spot.
In two NBA seasons, Brazdeikis has played a total of 14 games, averaging 1.4 points in 4.9 minutes per night. Most of his action has come in the G League, where he averaged 20.9 PPG and 8.1 RPG in two seasons with Westchester.
Orlando has a full roster, with Donta Hall‘s second 10-day contract expiring later today, so it appears Hall won’t be signed for the rest of the season. The 23-year-old big man got into eight games for the Magic, averaging 3.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per night.
Chasing’ his dream…his choice. Probably should have stuck around at MI for one more season.
Interesting
I like Iggy. He’s tough and plays both ways. Needs to be given a chance. If I’m him I work my shot. Even if it means one more yr of G-league. He’s a scorer but at NBA level he needs a more consistent shot to make it work. I’m rooting for him.
I don’t think the Nets will make another roster move, especially since Nic Claxton is due to return to the rotation this week, but, if they decide Chris Chiozza will not heal in time to be useful, if absolutely necessary, during the playoffs, they could offer Donta Hall his two-way slot. Hall was useful in the bubble last year.
