The Orlando Magic has waived forward Bol Bol, the team announced on Tuesday.
Tuesday was the deadline to guarantee Bol's $2.2 million contract for the upcoming season, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks. He is now eligible to be claimed by a team that has the salary cap space or a trade exception to absorb Bol's salary.
The waiver claim order is based on last season's standings, which means the Detroit Pistons have first dibs. Detroit tried to trade for Bol in January 2022 before the deal was voided due to a physical issue with Bol.
Bol, 23, is coming off a career year where he averaged 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 21.5 minutes per game for the Orlando Magic. He appeared in 70 games for Orlando, starting in 33 of them, after playing in just 53 combined NBA games in his first three seasons in the league.
Bol has an intriguing skill set that includes ball handling and shooting to go along with his shot-blocking ability.
Bol is the son of former NBA player Manute Bol.
