Duke-Friendly Franchise Waives Former UNC Basketball One-And-Done

On Wednesday, after stacking up on Duke basketball talents in free agency this summer — Mason Plumlee and Tyus Jones joined Grayson Allen — the franchise waived its only NBA Tar Heel under contract in 2018-19 one-and-done Nassir Little.

As things stand, not counting former outbound Tar Heel transfer center Walker Kessler, only six UNC basketball players appear on an NBA roster for next season: Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony, San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes, Spurs forward Harrison Ingram, Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson, Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe, and Chicago Bulls guard Coby White.
