The Indiana Pacers waived Kendall Brown, their 2022 second-round draft pick, and signed Jahlil Okafor to an Exhibit 10 contract intended for G League play. The Cleveland Cavaliers released guard Jacob Gilyard, despite his notable defensive skills. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns waived Mamadi Diakite and Moses Wood, potentially paving the way for Frank Kaminsky to secure the final spot on their 15-man roster. Kaminsky expressed enthusiasm about potentially rejoining the Suns, where he previously played from 2019 to 2022. These player movements reflect ongoing roster adjustments as NBA teams finalize their lineups before the regular season, strategically balancing player potential and roster flexibility.
