The Memphis Grizzlies announced that they waived 23-year-old guard Tony Wroten Friday evening. It was the second time Wroten has been waived by the Memphis Grizzlies in the past 87 days and the third time overall in the past 89 days.
Wroten spent last year with the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks, but only appeared in eight games, all of which were with Philadelphia.
The Seattle-native and University of Washington product was selected 25th overall in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, but struggled to string together consistent minutes. After appearing in 35 games for the Grizzlies in 2012, he was traded to Philadelphia for the most protected pick of all-time.
