Soon after completing a trade with the Wizards, the Brooklyn Nets plan to waive veteran guard Marcus Thornton, one of the players they acquired, according to a report by Yahoo! Sports.

Thornton, 29, was sent to Brooklyn along with forward Andrew Nicholson and a protected 2017 first round pick. The Wizards got forwards Bojan Bogdanovic and Chris McCullough in return.

Thornton was signed by the Wizards in March of 2016 and re-signed on a one-year deal over the summer. He appeared in 47 total games for the Wizards and averaged 7.2 points.

Thornton had not appeared in the Wizards' last 21 games before he was traded. He fell out of the rotation in favor of backup guards Trey Burke and Tomas Satoransky.
