The Charlotte Hornets waived both Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski on Saturday.
The two players were sent to Charlotte ahead of the trade deadline in a move that brought Gordon Hayward to Oklahoma City. Tre Mann was another player involved in the trade, though his potential likely leaves his job with the Hornets secure.
Pokusevski was a first-round pick in 2020, drafted by the Thunder who traded up to secure his rights.

Bertans was brought to the team ahead of last season in a trade that saw the Thunder and Dallas Mavericks swap draft picks, allowing Oklahoma City to draft Cason Wallace with pick No.
