The Milwaukee Bucks made two roster moves Wednesday as they waived forwards Damien Inglis and Johnny O'Bryant III. The Bucks had until Thursday to release the players to avoid paying them any money for the 2016-17 season.
Inglis' salary of $980,431 would have been fully guaranteed for next season, while O'Bryant III would have gained $150,000 worth of protection for his $980,431 salary. There is a chance both players could be claimed off waivers on Friday.
Inglis, the No. 31 pick in the 2014 draft, played in 20 games this past season and averaged 1.8 points and 1.6 rebounds.
O'Bryant III, the No. 36 pick in the 2014 draft, played in 66 games this season and averaged 3.0 points and 2.7 rebounds.
The Bucks will enter July with eight players under contract and about $24 million below the salary cap when factoring in the cap holds for Miles Plumlee and rookie Thon Maker.
