The Knicks are waiving guard Dwayne Bacon, Fred Katz of The Athletic tweets.
Bacon, who was on an Exhibit 10 deal, was considered a strong candidate for the last roster spot on a team with 14 guaranteed deals. This development could improve the chances of Wayne Selden making the opening-night roster.
New York signed Bacon in August after Orlando waived him. He appeared in every game for Orlando during the 72-game 2020/21 NBA season, including 50 starts. He averaged 10.9 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 1.3 APG and 0.6 SPG in 25.7 MPG.
Bacon, 25, spent his first three NBA seasons with the Hornets and their NBAGL affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm.
Bacon nooo. Do I lean towards sausage
Sad. Bacon makes everything better
Belongs overseas. Just from his years of experience with Charlotte and Orlando he’ll get another NBA gig. He’s too slow, slow release, not athtletic enough. Next man up
