Several NBA Teams Adjust Rosters With Camp Signings and Waivers
New York added N'Faly Dante on an Exhibit 10 deal and also completed a sign-and-waive with Jaden Akins. Memphis cut Kira Lewis Jr. and brought in Lawson Lovering, while Charlotte re-signed Jarkel Joiner after previously letting him go. The Clippers added Hunter Sallis and Jason Preston, with several of these moves aimed at training camp and G League eligibility.
EXPANDED:
New York added N’Faly Dante on an Exhibit 10 deal. Dante had brief NBA time with Atlanta and Houston, but a December G League ACL tear led to his February release. The Knicks also signed and waived Jaden Akins, who played for Motor City Cruise. Such contracts can yield up to $91K for 60 G League days and may become two-way deals; New York has three two-way openings.
Memphis cut Kira Lewis Jr. after his Saturday signing and added Lawson Lovering, a former Memphis Hustle center with two February NBA appearances. Charlotte re-signed Jarkel Joiner, previously waived in early September, filling Ryan Nembhard’s spot. Los Angeles added Hunter Sallis and Jason Preston; Sallis played for San Diego after a Philadelphia two-way stint, while Preston had a prior camp deal.
