The Portland Trail Blazers waived forward Shavlik Randolph today, Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard announced.
The 6-foot-10, 236-pound Randolph was signed by Portland on Dec. 30 with the team’s second NBA hardship exemption. He was added to the team’s roster to provide depth at the center position — injured Blazer centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla are out for the season.
Randolph appeared in two games for the Blazers this season, totaling four points, a rebound and an assist in five minutes of action.
Randolph was waived to prevent his non-guaranteed contract from becoming guaranteed Jan. 10. Should Randolph clear waivers, he could then be re-signed by the Blazers to a 10-day contract. However, a source has informed The Columbian it is unlikely the team will attempt reacquire Randolph.
