The Nets waived forward Luis Scola on Monday, parting ways with their oldest player, who had an impact in the locker room but less so on the court.
The 36-year-old Scola had fallen out of the rotation with the Nets (9-49) predictably going with younger players. They likely will give more playing time to high-energy forward Quincy Acy (once he returns from injury) and newly acquired Andrew Nicholson. Scola had played just 27 minutes this month, mustering a grand total of one point.
“We appreciate everything Luis has done for our team this year. His approach and dedication to the game will continue to serve as lasting models for our young players,’’ general manager Sean Marks said in a statement.
