    Morris was just signed on November 6 when the Pacers waived Mac McClug. The 30-year-old Morris has played just 10.8 minutes per game with the Pacers and has played a combined seven minutes in his last two games.
  • NOP Head Coach #34
    Friday’s loss to the Lakers dropped the Pelicans to 2-10, and there had been rumblings of a potential move well ahead of the team’s most recent defeat. In four-plus seasons as the head coach, Green’s teams went 150-190 and made two playoff appearances. He’ll be replaced on an interim basis by associate head coach James Borrego.
  • FA Center #11
    Indiana made this move to open up a roster spot to sign Mac McClung. Wiseman, who started on Saturday, will now enter free agency, leaving Isaiah Jackson, Jay Huff and Tony Bradley as the center options for the Pacers.
  • Springer signed with New Orleans in July after previously being waived by the Jazz. He’ll be a free agent once again, where he’ll look to find a new organization to join, though it’s unlikely he finds a significant role with a different team.
  • FA Guard #15
    Payne, who spent last season with the Knicks, was signed to a training camp deal by the Pacers after T.J. McConnell and Delon Wright were injured during preseason games. However, the veteran guard did not take advantage of his opportunity, with Taelon Peter outplaying him. During Friday’s preseason finale against the Spurs, Peter played 22 minutes off the bench while Payne logged 15.
  • After spending the prior season-plus with the Knicks, Achiuwa returned to the Heat on an Exhibit 10 contract just before the start of training camp. The 2020 first-round pick faced long odds to make the opening night roster, especially with the Heat being in luxury tax territory. The decision to waive Achiuwa gets Miami back under the luxury tax, and they’ll likely begin the regular season with 14 players on standard contracts. This transaction does not impact fantasy basketball.
  • CHI Point Guard #8
    The Bulls signed and waived McClung on Friday, and the team holds his G League rights. If the three-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion remains with the Windy City Bulls for 60 days, he’ll receive an $85,300 bonus.
  • FA Center #11
    Bamba, the sixth overall pick in the 2018 draft, faced long odds to make the Jazz roster in training camp. Having begun his NBA career with the Magic, the 7-footer has since played for the 76ers, Lakers, Clippers and Pelicans. Bamba’s exit from Utah will not impact fantasy basketball.
  • Robinson-Earl, who began his NBA career with the Thunder, was in training camp with the Mavericks on an Exhibit 10 contract. Dallas’ G League affiliate holds his G League rights, so Robinson-Earl would receive an $85,300 bonus if he were to clear waivers and then spends 60 days with the Texas Legends.
  • FA Forward #45
    Banton was waived less than two weeks after agreeing to an Exhibit 10 deal with the Mavericks. Dallas’ G League affiliate holds his rights in that league, so if he clears waivers, Banton could remain in Texas, albeit with the Legends. A second-round pick of the Raptors in 2021, Banton played well down the stretch last season as a member of the Trail Blazers.
