The Los Angeles Clippers will reportedly waive small forward Michael Beasley and point guard Milos Teodosic, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
The Clippers acquired Beasley from the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Teodosic signed with the franchise in the summer of 2017. The 31-year-old was making $6,300,000 this season and has only played in 15 games.
The initial plan for the Los Angeles Clippers is to waive forward Michael Beasley, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Michael Beasley signed a one-year deal with the Lakers last summer. The former No. 2 overall pick averaged 7.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists for the purple and gold in 26 games while shooting 49.0 percent from the floor, 17.6 percent from the 3-point line and 71.8 percent from the foul line.
Beasley reportedly got into a heated argument with Lakers head coach Luke Walton after a recent loss to the Golden State Warriors. The veteran swingman was also going to be part of the trade package for New Orleans Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis.
Milos Teodosic, meanwhile, averaged 3.2 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists for the Clippers this season. LA has been playing rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the point guard spot this season. Teodosic could return to Europe once he's waived by the Clippers if he doesn't garner any interest from NBA teams.
The Clippers have been very busy. They traded Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic and Mike Scott to the Philadelphia 76ers, and they also sent Avery Bradley to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Garrett Temple and JaMychal Green. Marcin Gortat is also on his way out.
