The Magic have waived two-way player Ethan Thompson, the team’s PR department tweets.
Thompson signed a two-way deal with Orlando in February but never appeared in an NBA game. The 6’5” guard played 31 games with its G League affiliate in Osceola, averaging 18.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.2 minutes per game.
Thompson, 26, has appeared in 127 G League contests, including 33 with the Mexico City Capitanes during the 2023/24 season. He went undrafted in 2021 out of Oregon State and had a couple of training camp deals with Chicago but was waived during training camp both times. Thompson also signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Magic last year and was waived during training camp.
The Magic signed center Orlando Robinson to a two-way contract earlier this week. By waiving Thompson, they now have two open two-way slots.
