Minnesota - A.J. Price and Robbie Hummel: Price has had scant little to do in his third string point guard role thus far this season, although every team needs one and he is as capable as any, so he may survive. Conversely, Hummel has had plenty of opportunity thus far this season, and has struggled noticeably, filling no obvious role and looking somewhat overmatched. The team may however seek to protect its own draft pick.
In some additional related bookkeeping, the reason for many of the players listed in the previous list was due to the NBA's contract guarantee date. All players on NBA rosters on or after January 10th have their contracts guaranteed for the remainder of the season (future seasons are unaffected); this also includes waivers. In-season waivers are 48 hours long and do not include weekends; therefore, with the 10th of January being a Monday, players had to be waived by close of business on Wednesday 5th in order to have cleared waivers before the deadline date.
