Three players on non-guaranteed training camp deals have been waived in recent days, with Chicago moving on from Peter Suder, Utah cutting Jaelen House and Portland waiving Hyunjung Lee.
Suder was the latest name to hit the transaction log, with the Bulls requesting waivers on Thursday, according to NBA.com. The Jazz announced House’s release in a press release, while Lee was officially waived on Wednesday, also per the transaction log.
Because all three were on Exhibit 10 contracts, they’re in line for a bonus of up to $91K if they remain with their teams’ G League affiliates for at least 60 days.
Suder entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Miami (Ohio) in June after a standout college run. He earned MAC Player of the Year honors while helping his team finish the 2025/26 regular season at 31-0. The 6’5″ guard put up 14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 33 games, shooting 54.6% from the floor and 42.1% from beyond the arc.
His path took a quick turn after the draft. Suder agreed to a two-way deal with the Lakers immediately after the draft and finalized it in the first week of July, but he struggled in six Summer League games between the California Classic and Las Vegas. Los Angeles waived him a few weeks later, and he later landed with Chicago.
Lee, a 6’7″ guard/forward from South Korea, arrives at this point after a decorated run overseas. Last season, he helped Nagasaki Velca win its first-ever B.League championship, taking home Finals MVP honors, a spot on the B.League Season Best 5 and the Asia Special Award. Before that, he spent two seasons in Australia and was part of the Illawarra Hawks’ 2024/25 NBL title team.
House’s pro career has been built in the G League so far. The 6’0″ point guard played two seasons at Arizona State and three at New Mexico before going undrafted in 2024, then spent his first two professional years with the San Diego Clippers.
His numbers in San Diego were split between two very different stretches. During the fall Tip-Off Tournament, he logged a modest role, averaging 9.2 PPG, 3.6 APG, 2.4 RPG and 0.9 SPG while shooting .388/.300/.688 in 10 games and 16.3 minutes per contest. In the 2025/26 regular season, though, he was far more productive, posting 21.0 PPG, 7.6 APG, 3.0 RPG and 1.9 SPG on .442/.363/.844 shooting over 22 appearances and 28.6 minutes per game.

Jazz Fans Will Love How Walker Kessler Trade Finally Broke Utahs Way
Walker Kesslers path out of Utah says as much about the market for young rim protectors as it does about the Jazzs patience. After being moved from the Jazz to the Lakers, Kessler landed in a deal that reportedly came together only after Los Angeles tried multiple times to get him and finally met Utahs high asking price. For a team that has been in no rush to give away useful assets, it was the kind of transaction that validated the front offices approach.
The move also carried an extra layer of intrigue because Luka Doncics desire to land Kessler is said to have helped drive the process. For Jazz fans, the bigger takeaway is that Utah did not have to compromise to make it happen, instead turning a coveted player into future value on its terms. The deal may not solve anything overnight, but it does show the Jazz can still make the league come to them when the price is right. [Read more 🡒]
Jaren Jackson Jr. Sees One Mental Hurdle For This Jazz Team
The Jazz are heading into a new season with a young roster that has real talent and a clear goal in front of it: getting back to the playoffs for the first time since 2022. For a group trying to take that next step, Jaren Jackson Jr. says the challenge is as much mental as it is physical, with competitiveness and an even temperament standing out as the traits that can help a developing team hold together when the nights get tougher.
Jackson Jr., who knows the grind of building toward contention from his time with the Memphis Grizzlies, has been offering perspective on what it takes for a young core to grow into a playoff-ready group. His view is a useful one for Utah, where the promise is obvious but the margin for progress often comes down to whether the team can stay steady through the learning curve. [Read more 🡒]
Brice Sensabaugh Faces A Prove It Season With Money At Stake
Jamal Sheads new three-year, $24 million extension with Toronto gives the Jazz another useful reference point as they look ahead to Brice Sensabaughs next contract conversation. For Utah, the comparison is less about matching player types than about timing and leverage, because Sensabaugh is entering a season where his offensive promise has already shown up in flashes, and the organization still needs to see more steady production.
Sensabaughs situation is the classic prove-it setup: real talent on one end, unanswered questions on the other. He has had trouble stringing together consistency, and the Jazzs roster changes could put him in a different kind of role this season, one that may either sharpen his value or complicate the picture. With money eventually on the line, how he fits and performs over the coming months could shape not just his season, but the price tag Utah is willing to consider. [Read more 🡒]
