Rotowire
Fitts was waived by the Clippers on Thursday, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Fitts joined the Clippers last week but will part ways with the team after spending just over a week on the roster. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he's a strong candidate to spend time in the G League this year.
Fitts signed with the Clippers on Wednesday, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Fitts played 15 games between the Jazz and Celtics in 2021-22. He averaged 1.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in those games over just 4.2 minutes. The undrafted forward has not solidified his place in the NBA, but he will look to do so in Los Angeles.

Juwan Morgan, Nik Stauskas and Duane Washington were also waived Thursday. All three of Fitts, Morgan and Stauskas arrived earlier in the month via Boston as part of the Malcolm Brogdon trade.
