The Brooklyn Nets waived guard Kobe Bufkin on Sunday, trimming their roster down to 15 standard contracts. Bufkin joined the Nets in September as a salary dump from the Atlanta Hawks . Brooklyn sent cash considerations to the Hawks and did not acquire a draft pick in the deal.

Bufkin entered the mix for a Nets team loaded with young guard prospects, including veteran Cam Thomas and rookies Egor Demin, Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf. The former No. 15 pick struggled to carve out a role during the preseason. He made two appearances, averaging 7.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists on 4-of-11 shooting from the field and 3-of-8 from three in 10.5 minutes per game.
