In a cost-cutting move that was widely expected after he didn’t do much in his rookie season, the Clippers have waived 2015 second-round pick Branden Dawson, the team announced on Sunday.
Dawson’s $874,636 salary for next season was unguaranteed, so this move will free up a little money for the Clippers to spend. Dawson spent more time in the D-League than he did in the NBA last season, appearing in just six games for the Clippers and playing a total of 29 minutes.
