Joe Wieskamp is coming off a season where he played nine games for the Toronto Raptors.
On Monday, the Raptors waived the former Iowa star (h/t Blake Murphy of Sportsnet).
Via Murphy: "The Raptors have waived Joe Wieskamp.
His deal was set to guarantee tomorrow.
Raptors have one open NBA roster spot, minimum contracts available to offer, $3.96M in breathing room below the tax.
Also at 5 open summer/camp spots as needed."
Wieskamp has played two seasons in the NBA (his rookie season was with the San Antonio Spurs) and has averaged 1.8 points per contest over 38 games.
This past year, the Raptors were the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 41-41 record.
They lost in their first play-in tournament game to the Chicago Bulls.
In addition to the Raptors, the 23-year-old also spent time in the G League and averaged 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per contest while shooting 44.4% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range in 17 regular season games.
Wieskamp was initially the 41st pick in the 2021 NBA Draft after a stellar college career.
Over his three seasons at Iowa, the Hawkeyes made the NCAA Tournament twice.
Wieskamp averaged 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per contest while shooting an outstanding 49.1% from the field and 46.2% from the three-point range in 31 games during his final season.
With his elite shooting ability, he could be a good pickup for one of the other 29 NBA teams.
