The Wizards waived Livers (hip) on Friday.
The transaction opened up a spot on the 15-man roster for guard Jared Butler, who was upgraded from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract. After being acquired from the Pistons on Jan. 14, Livers never appeared for the Wizards before being shut down for the season in February due to joint capsule inflammation in his right hip. Livers was already set to be a free agent this offseason, so the Wizards will give him a head start on finding his next stop.

Wizards' Isaiah Livers: Jettisoned to Washington
Rotowire
The Wizards acquired Livers, Marvin Bagley and two second-round picks from the Pistons on Sunday in exchange for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Livers has averaged 20.4 minutes of action across 23 appearances and six starts for Detroit this season, although he has bottomed out in 2023-24 by shooting a career-worst 28.6 percent from deep. He'll now join a crowded Wizards forward group featuring Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Bilal Coulibaly, likely setting Livers up to fill a small rotational role. In total, Livers averaged 6.2 points and 2.6 rebounds on 40.7/35.8/78.9 percent shooting splits across three seasons with Detroit.
