Jazz Waive Vince Williams Jr. After Season-Ending ACL Tear

The move frees a roster spot to address a thinned rotation.

Overview

  • Utah cut the fourth-year guard less than a month after acquiring him from Memphis in the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade.
  • Williams tore his left ACL on February 23 against the Rockets, ending his Jazz season after six appearances.
  • Team officials opted to open a slot as injuries have depleted available players for the remainder of the campaign.
  • In limited time with Utah, Williams averaged 4.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists across six games.
  • His multi-year deal reportedly includes remaining salary and a team option that would factor into any claim or new deal.
