The Wizards didn't re-sign Wanamaker (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) after his 10-day contract expired Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Wanamaker started in his lone appearance for the Wizards, playing 27 minutes while scoring seven points and adding seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in a 110-93 win over the Cavaliers on Dec. 30. He entered the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols two days later, which made him ineligible to play during much of his 10-day stint with Washington.

Wizards' Brad Wanamaker: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Wanamaker (COVID-19 protocols) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game at Orlando.
Wanamaker was placed in protocols on New Year's Eve, so it appears he's tested out and will be available off the bench Sunday. Chances are, he won't have much -- if any -- fantasy impact.

Wizards' Brad Wanamaker: Starting in Wizards debut
Rotowire
Wanamaker will start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
The same day he signed his contract, Wanamaker will start with his new team. Earlier this year, he started one game with the Pacers and provided six points, three assists, two steals and one rebound in 25 minutes.
Wanamaker was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Wanamaker drew the start at point guard during his first game with the Wizards, posting seven points, seven assists, five rebounds and two steals. In his absence, rookie Corey Kispert and two-way players Joel Ayayi and Cassius Winston are all candidates to enter the starting lineup.

Wizards' Brad Wanamaker: Signed by Wizards
Rotowire
Wanamaker was signed by the Wizards on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The veteran point guard had played in 22 games before being waived by the Pacers earlier in the week. Wanamaker now has found a new home in Washington as the Wizards are dealing with their own COVID situation. At this moment, the Pittsburgh product still does not offer much fantasy value in most formats.

Brad Wanamaker: Waived by Pacers
Rotowire
Wanamaker was waived by the Pacers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Indiana brought Wanamaker in on a one-year deal last offseason, but the veteran guard hasn't impressed though 22 appearances, averaging a meager 3.5 points on 36.1 percent shooting. Once the transaction becomes official, the team will sign former UWGB standout Keifer Sykes, who spent the preseason with Indiana following a strong showing in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Pacers' Brad Wanamaker: Non-existent in start
Rotowire
Wanamaker produced six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 victory over the Pistons.
Wanamaker is the most traditional point guard on Indiana's roster, but the third-string man's jump to the starting lineup underwhelmed and did little to catalyze the offense. Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is likely to return by the Pacers' next game Tuesday in Miami

Pacers' Brad Wanamaker: Starting for injured Brogdon
Rotowire
Wanamaker will start Thursday's tilt against the Pistons, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
With Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) a late scratch, coach Rick Carlisle will give Wanamaker the nod for his first start of the year. In three games where he's seen at least 20 minutes, Wanamaker has averaged 8.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Pacers' Brad Wanamaker: Available Monday
Rotowire
Wanamaker (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors, Tony East of the West Indianapolis Community News reports.
Wanamaker was questionable for Monday's contest due to a non-COVID illness, but he'll be able to play through the issue against Golden State. He's averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 assists in 12.4 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

Pacers' Brad Wanamaker: Questionable vs. Warriors
Rotowire
Wanamaker (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Wanamaker is suffering from a non-COVID illness. If he becomes unavailable, fellow backups Chris Duarte and Jeremy Lamb could receive more playing time. There is a chance the Pacers' two-way guards -- Duane Washington and DeJon Jarreau -- also benefit from the team's injuries.

Pacers' Brad Wanamaker: Inks camp deal with Indiana
Rotowire
Wanamaker signed a training camp contract with the Pacers on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Wanamaker played for the Warriors and Hornets last season, with the guard averaging 5.5 points, 2.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 17.3 minutes. If he makes the team, he'll be a depth option.
Wanamaker scored six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes Thursday in a loss to the Bulls.
The guard came down a bit after registering a season-high 15 points in his previous contest, but Wanamaker still found ways to contribute while on the court. His playing time has been noticeably inconsistent this season, leading to unremarkable per-game averages of 5.5 points, 2.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 steals. Wanamaker hasn't helped himself with a woeful 38.6 percent field-goal rate on the campaign.

Hornets' Brad Wanamaker: Scores season high
Rotowire
Wanamaker logged 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a steal in 31 minutes of action during Tuesday's 102-99 win over the Pistons.
Wanamaker achieved one of his most efficient games of the season Tuesday, as he posted a season-high 15 points and matched a season-high five rebounds. The 31-year-old received an abundance of playing time as Miles Bridges (COVID-19 protocols), Cody Martin (ankle) and Devonte' Graham (knee) were all forced to sit. Wanamaker's minutes should remain high since Bridges, Martin and Graham are all expected to be out Thursday against the Bulls.

Hornets' Brad Wanamaker: Efficient night
Rotowire
Wanamaker totaled 11 points (4-5 FG, 5-5 FT), five assists and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 108-91 loss to the Bulls.
Wanamaker only played 14 minutes, but he made his presence felt, scoring 11 points and dishing out five assists in the limited action. The 11 points were the most he has scored since April 11, when he had 13 points in 28 minutes. The Hornets have dealt with a litany of injuries to their guards this season, and Wanamaker has filled in admirably. As long as LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Malik Monk (ankle) are still out, expect Wanamaker to continue to see a smattering of playing time.

Hornets' Brad Wanamaker: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Wanamaker (ankle) will play Friday against the Nets.
Wanamaker has taken on an expanded role with LaMelo Ball (wrist), Devonte' Graham (quad) and Malik Monk (ankle) out. Over the past eight games, he's averaged 9.1 points, 4.4 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 22.5 minutes.

Hornets' Brad Wanamaker: Questionable Friday
Rotowire
Wanamaker is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets due to a right ankle sprain.
Wanamaker has played at least 20 minutes in each of the last five contests and has averaged 8.8 points and 5.0 assists in 23.6 minutes per game during that time. He could see increased run if he's active Friday since Devonte' Graham (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the matchup against Brooklyn.

Hornets' Brad Wanamaker: Remains productive
Rotowire
Wanamaker totaled 13 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 114-97 win over the Pacers.
Wanamaker is giving his best first impression to the Hornets, as he recorded his second-highest points output of the year. The veteran's season high occurred Feb. 20 when he scored 14 points on 15 shots for the Warriors. The efficient scoring is a plus, but it may have been a result of Malik Monk (ankle) missing the game. Either way, Wanamaker has been a productive backup since his arrival in Charlotte.

Hornets' Brad Wanamaker: Plays 14 minutes
Rotowire
Wanamaker scored nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3PT, 2-2 FT) and dished out three assists in 14 minutes during Thursday's 111-89 loss to the Nets.
The 30-year-old saw his most minutes since the March 25 trade and delivered an efficient night. Wanamaker is a veteran guard who can shine in the backup role, but the Hornets, despite an injury to LaMelo Ball (wrist), are filled with young, talented guards that all figure to see plenty of playing time.

Hornets' Brad Wanamaker: Available for debut Sunday
Rotowire
Wanamaker (recent trade) is available for Sunday's game versus Phoenix, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
The 31-year-old was acquired from the Warriors on Thursday and will debut with his new team Sunday against the Suns. Wanamaker is unlikely to play a significant role for Charlotte, but he could see extra run against the Suns with Malik Monk (foot) likely unavailable.
