The Utah Jazz have waived charismatic veteran big man Boris Diaw.
The Vertical's Shams Charania on Thursday reported that the Jazz have made the move two days before the Frenchman's $7.5 million salary for the 2017-2018 season was to be guaranteed, signaling that they could not find a suitable trade partner for his contract.
The organization announced the move a short time after Charania's report.
With the transaction, Utah has 14 players with guaranteed salary for next season. Raul Neto has a nonguaranteed deal in place worth nearly $1.5 million. Teams can have a maximum of 15 players on their roster.
