    Nicolas Batum announced on Monday that he is retiring from basketball.

    The 25th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Batum played 18 seasons in the league for four franchises, most recently the Clippers. While he may not have received an All-Defensive Team honor during his time in the NBA, the 6-foot-8 wing was long respected for his ability to take on a variety of matchups on that end of the floor. Offensively, Batum’s most productive season was the 2016-17 campaign as a member of the Hornets, when he averaged 15.1 points per game. For his career, Batum averaged 9.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.5 three-pointers per game. In addition to his lengthy NBA career, Batum has been a key contributor to France’s rise as a consistent contender for medals in FIBA and Olympic competitions.

    NBA insider Marc Stein labels the Nuggets “a team to watch” in the free-agent market for forward Cam Whitmore.

    Whitmore, limited to 21 games last season because of deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder, was waived by the Cavaliers in August after the team acquired him in the Peyton Watson trade. Interestingly, Watson’s former team is reportedly considering the free-agent forward as training camp approaches. Whitmore has yet to carve out a consistent role in the NBA, but the former first-round pick could be worth a roll of the dice for a Nuggets team that can use added wing depth. While unlikely to be much of a factor in redraft leagues, landing a roster spot would clearly preserve what little value Whitmore has in dynasty leagues.

    NBA insider Marc Stein reports that multiple teams have expressed interest in free agent wing John Konchar.

    The Timberwolves waived Konchar after acquiring him from the Jazz earlier this summer, and he’s one of the top available free agents as training camp approaches. According to Stein, Miami, New York, Orlando and Toronto have all expressed interest in Konchar, who appeared in 56 games last season for the Grizzlies and Jazz. However, the Raptors are more limited financially than the other three teams after acquiring Kawhi Leonard, as Toronto is just $2.3 million away from the first apron. Konchar’s production has never been elite, but his ability to fill a stat line makes him a player worth considering in deeper category leagues. In the right situation, he can be a fantasy asset.

    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Taj Gibson is retiring after 17 years in the NBA.

    Gibson appeared in 1,012 regular season games for eight teams during his time in the Association. He spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Bulls, and he will join the team that drafted him back in 2009 as an assistant under head coach Tiago Splitter.

    Hawks waived Devin Carter.

    The 13th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Carter could never get untracked during his two seasons in Sacramento. Due to shoulder surgery, the 6-foot-2 guard did not make his NBA debut until January 2025. Carter also missed time due to injury last season and has appeared in 74 NBA games over two seasons. He was acquired by the Hawks in late June, with Atlanta also receiving a 2033 second-round pick. NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the Celtics may be interested in Carter, and the franchise has a good track record of using the G League to develop players into solid contributors.

    Hornets waived Kobe Stewart.

    Signed to an Exhibit 10 contract on September 4, Stewart has been waived by the Hornets. While Monday’s transaction means he won’t participate in training camp, it also means that the 6-foot-6 wing is likely to catch on with the Hornets’ G League affiliate in Greensboro.

    HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Cavaliers have waived Cam whitmore.

    This was rumored after he was sent to Cleveland as part of the Peyton Watson trade, and now it’s official. The 2023 first-round pick will be looking for a new home after suiting up in 21 games for the Wizards last season prior to suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in December.

    Julian Reese has been waived after being traded to the Nuggets.

    Reese was added in to facilitate the Peyton Watson trade to Cleveland, though Denver had no intention to keep him around. Reese ended last season on a two-way deal with Washington and will look to find a new home for next season.

    HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Pelicans have waived Hunter Dickinson.

    The former Michigan and Kansas star went undrafted in 2025 but ended up signing with New Orleans on a two-way deal after the draft. He appeared in five games as rookie; once during the season opener after Yves Missi injured his ankle, and then during the final four games of the Pelicans’ season. Now, the 25-year-old big man will look for a new team to suit up for, though he will likely spend most of his time in the G League.
