Nick Fazekas waived



Despite leading the Nuggets in rebounding in their last game (in only 12 minutes of play), the Denver Nuggets waived Nick Fazekas. The forward, who is from Colorado, signed a non-guaranteed, minimum-salary contract before the start of the team's training camp in late September.

Fazekas is the all-time leading scorer in University of Nevada history, and a 3-time WAC Player of the Year award winner. He averaged 4.1 points and 3.4 rebounds in 26 games with the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers last year in his rookie season, and over 17 points and 8 rebounds in the NBADL.

After receiving a qualifying contract offer from the Clippers in the offseason, Fazekas played on the team's summer league squad. But on Aug. 1, the two parties agreed to dissolve the offer.
