Marcus Thornton

Marcus Thornton waived by Nets on Thursday

Point guard Marcus Thornton has been waived by the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

Thornton was acquired by the Nets in Wednesday's trade with the Washington Wizards, but after dealing for K.J. McDaniels on Thursday, the veteran guard became expendable. He may garner some mild interest on the buyout market.

Thornton is averaging 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game this season. His -1.3 nERD is tied for 334th in the NBA.
