As expected, Jordan Farmar‘s latest stint with the Kings came to an end today after less than a week. As James Ham of CSNBayArea.com tweets, Sacramento has waived Farmar, clearing the way for Darren Collison to come off the suspended list and rejoin the team. The Kings confirmed Farmar’s release in an announcement on their website.
The Kings were allowed to temporarily carry a 16th player on their 15-man roster after moving Collison to the suspended list for the last three games of his eight-game ban, as we detailed last Wednesday. However, since the team played its eighth game of the season on Sunday, a roster move was required today in order to get back down to 15 players.
Farmar, who turns 30 later this month, appeared in two games for the Kings over the last few days, averaging 6.0 PPG and 4.5 APG in 17.5 minutes per contest. The veteran point guard signed a non-guaranteed contract with Sacramento, so the team will only be charged a prorated portion of the minimum salary for the few days he was on the roster.
Farmar will return to the free agent list, assuming he clears waivers on Wednesday.
What is his ethnicity? It doesn’t matter, just curious. It’s hard to tell.
He’ll get another job soon.
Why do they keep signing & waiving him smh this like the 3rd time
Just curious but if the Grizzlies were to sign Farmar to backup Mike could they send Harrison to the D-League since they purchased his contract from there in the offseason? Or would it be smarter to send Wade Baldwin to the D League for more reps?
The Grizzlies could assign Harrison to the D-League anytime, but he’d still take up a spot on the 15-man roster. If they wanted to make room for Farmar and decided to cut Harrison, they’d no longer have his NBA rights (so another NBA team could sign him).
