Duane Washington: Cut by Charlotte
The Hornets waived Washington on Wednesday.
Charlotte will cut Washington just one week after acquiring him as part of the three-team deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks and Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to the Timberwolves. The Hornets mostly took on Washington for salary-matching purposes, as the guard agreed to re-sign with the Knicks on a three-year, $6.97 million contract before he was moved to Charlotte, who also received DaQuan Jeffries, Charlie Brown, three future second-round picks and $7.2 million while giving up only the rights to 2023 second-round pick James Nnaji in the deal. Before he was part of the sign-and-trade deal, Washington was a free agent who had signed a contract with Serbian club Partizan Belgrade. Washington could head overseas now that he's officially a free agent once again.

The Knicks have traded Washington, DaQuan Jeffries, Charlie Brown and three second-round picks to the Hornets in exchange for James Nnaji in order to compete a three-team deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to New York and Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Washington hasn't made an NBA appearance since the 2022-23 season for Phoenix. He is expected to be waived and could rejoin EuroLeague club Partizan in Belgrade, Serbia.

Knicks' Duane Washington: Rejoins Knicks
The Knicks announced Wednesday that they have signed Washington (thumb) to a two-way contract.
Washington was waived by the Knicks in November after suffering a right thumb injury that was expected to keep him out 6-8 weeks. However, with his thumb presumably being healed, Washington will rejoin New York on a two-way deal. The 23-year-old guard averaged 27.3 points, 6.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds for the Westchester Knicks of the G League before being let go.

Knicks' Duane Washington: Facing long-term absence
The Knicks announced Sunday that Washington is dealing with a right thumb injury and will be re-evaluated in 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Washington has played exclusively for the G League's Westchester Knicks this season while occupying one of New York's three two-way spots. He had missed game action of late for Westchester due to what was believed to be an illness, but the young guard is evidently dealing with a more serious injury that will likely keep him out until around at least mid-January.

Knicks' Duane Washington: Back with Knicks on two-way pact
Washington agreed to a two-way contract with the Knicks on Sunday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Washington has shown some flashes as a scorer across parts of two seasons with Indiana and Phoenix, but his contributions in other areas have been limited. The 23-year-old joins Charlie Brown and Jacob Toppin as New York's three two-way players for the upcoming season. Washington is likely to see the majority of his playing time with the G League's Westchester Knicks in 2023-24.

Knicks' Duane Washington: Signs training camp contract
Washington signed a training camp contract with the Knicks on Sunday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
The Knicks announced the signing Sunday, but they didn't immediately disclose the terms of the deal. After appearing in 31 games (three starts) with the Suns, Washington joined New York in February, but he never appeared in a game for the Knicks. The Ohio State product will now have an uphill battle during training camp, as New York has a crowded backcourt that features Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Immanuel Quickley, Donte DiVincenzo, Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride.

Knicks' Duane Washington: Back in Big Apple
Washington signed a contract with the Knicks on Sunday.
While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it appears the Knicks signed Washington to a standard contract, as Dylan Windler, Nathan Knight and Jaylen Martin occupy New York's three two-way deals. After appearing in 31 games (three starts) with the Suns, Washington joined the Knicks in February, but he never saw any game action with New York. He'll have a difficult time carving out a role in a crowded backcourt that includes Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Immanuel Quickley, Miles McBride, Donte DiVincenzo and Quentin Grimes.

Duane Washington: Let go by New York
The Knicks waived Washington on Monday.
Washington appeared in 31 games (three starts) with the Suns and averaged 7.9 points in 12.7 minutes per contest last season before being let go in February. He quickly caught on with the Knicks on a two-way pact, but he never saw any game action for the NBA squad. With the Knicks electing not to bring Washington back on a two-way deal, he'll seek out an Exhibit 10 deal elsewhere ahead of training camp.
