After acquiring Chandler Hutchison from the Washington Wizards in early August, the San Antonio Spurs have waived Hutchison. Fred Katz of the Athletic first reported the news before the move was made official by the NBA.
Hutchison being waived isn’t surprising because the Spurs had to waive or trade two players by October 18. In the trade for Hutchison, the Spurs acquired a 2022 second round pick.
Hutchison was in the final year of his contract and would have been a restricted free agent next summer. With him playing at the wing position, it would have been tough for him to find a place in the rotation with so many wing players already on the roster such as Keldon Johnson, Doug McDermott, Lonnie Walker IV, and Devin Vassell.
