Former Oklahoma City Thunder forward Perry Jones was waived by the Boston Celtics, according to the team’s website:
The announcement – a basic news release – was made yesterday:
The Boston Celtics announced today that they have waived forward Perry Jones III and guard Corey Walden.
Jones, a 6’11” forward, was originally acquired by the Celtics on July 14, 2015 and averaged 2.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game in five appearances with the team.
The Celtics roster now stands at 15.
Much like his stay in Oklahoma City, Jones was simply caught in a numbers game where he couldn’t get (or perhaps didn’t earn) the kind of playing time he needed to make an impact.
