The Los Angeles Clippers waived point guard Sam Cassell on Thursday.
In 38 games played this season, Cassell averaged 12.8 points, 4.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 25.7 minutes per game. In his 15th NBA season, Cassell had missed the last four games with a sprained right wrist while missing 12 games earlier in the season with a strained left calf.
“After weighing all of the options and after conversations with Sam, we believe this is the best solution for this team,” stated Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor. “We know and appreciate the many contributions Sam made during the last three years, and we wish him nothing but the best.”
