The Wizards have waived three players, the team announces. Forward Yoeli Childs, wing Caleb Homesley, and guard Marlon Taylor have been released following the team’s second preseason game. Washington now has 15 players under contract with Anzejs Pasecniks as the only player without a fully guaranteed deal.
Bobby Marks: The guaranteed date for the $1.5M contract for Anzejs Pasecniks (Washington) has been changed to Feb. 1. There is currently $350K guaranteed.
Fred Katz: Wizards players’ new guarantee dates, per sources: Isaac Bonga’s 2020-21 salary ($1.7M) becomes fully guaranteed at 5pm on Nov. 19. Anzejs Pasecniks’ 2020-21 salary ($1.5M) becomes guaranteed Nov. 24. For context, the draft is Nov. 18 and free agency is Nov. 20.
Fred Katz: Anzejs Pasecniks (stiff neck) and Jerome Robinson (Achilles) are both questionable for tomorrow against the Knicks. Ish Smith still out with the hamstring.
There are other minor moves Sheppard has made that stand out as good ones. He may have found something in Garrison Mathews, a rookie on a two-way deal who can light it up from three. Anzejs Pasecniks and Gary Payton II have been nice surprises as end-of-the-roster guys. And signing Ish Smith for less money instead of retaining Tomas Satoransky has proven to be a smart decision.
Fred Katz: Anzejs Pasecniks listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game in Miami.
