According to Clippers PR, the LA Clippers have waived forward Desi Rodriguez, bringing their roster total down to 19. The team will need to make two more cuts before the regular season begins next week.
Rodriguez was a prime candidate to be waived before the season began, which is something we alluded to in an earlier post about potential preseason cuts. The 22-year-old forward from Seton Hall went undrafted in this year’s NBA Draft, and joined the Clippers’ Summer League team. There, he averaged 7.0 points and 3.2 rebounds across nearly 22 minutes per game.
