The Clippers have officially waived center Moses Brown, the team announced today. Brown had been on a two-way contract, but reached his games-played limit when he was active for a 50th time on Thursday, as Law Murray of The Athletic notes (via Twitter).
Murray first reported (via Twitter) that the Clippers would cut Brown to free up his two-way slot. Agent Luke Glass tells ESPN’s Bobby Marks (Twitter link) that it was a mutual decision, since the 23-year-old was ineligible to play another game for the Clippers this season while on his two-way deal.
Brown appeared in 34 games for the Clippers, averaging 4.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in just 8.5 minutes per night. He served as a backup center behind Ivica Zubac, but wasn’t always a part of the rotation and slid further down the depth chart following L.A.’s trade-deadline acquisition of Mason Plumlee.
Brown, who is in his fourth NBA season, will have the ability to sign a standard or two-way deal with any team if he clears waivers on Sunday. He has previously spent time with Portland, Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Cleveland.
The Clippers now have two openings on their 17-man roster — one on their standard 15-man squad and one two-way slot.
Golden State should call
Yea promote Anthony Lamb and sign him would be a good job well done
So, I gather from this that the 50-game limit is on the player, not the team. Theoretically, teams could have two-way players available every single game as long as two-way players that hit the limit are waived and replaced with players who have sufficient games remaining during the season.
Yeah, my understanding is that the two-way rules are sort of similar to the 10-day rules — Brown has hit his limit with the Clippers (similar to having signed two 10-day contracts with the same team), but could sign a new two-way contract with another team, and the Clippers could add another player on a two-way contract.
The 50-game limit does prorate over the course of the season, so someone who signed a two-way deal today would be limited to 15 active games the rest of the way.
I guess that ship — has sailed
YyyyyOWwwwww! Dun dun dun

Hope cavs can consider to sign moses brown. Hope cavs can play proper pf n center combination instead using wade as pf.
Wizards need a taller bigman with a strong body.
Good Fit
Clippers have no hope of reaching the Promised Land without MOSES !!
He played really well for them and was a strong fit. I always said this guy will continue to get opportunities places b/c he plays hard
