Official waiver in Utah
The Utah Jazz have waived guard Justin Harmon effective September 24, leaving him without an NBA team after an official waiver that confirms his exit from the main roster. The move comes during the procedural roster-trimming window before preseason.
The transaction appears in NBA.com oficial and was picked up by Hoops Rumors, which lists Harmon among ten players waived on Thursday and notes that most had likely signed Exhibit 10 contracts before the cut.
Harmon's profile
Harmon, a 24-year-old guard out of Illinois after stops at Utah Valley and Barton Community College, went undrafted in 2024 and already knows Utah's development pipeline through his G League stint with the Salt Lake City Stars. Last season in the affiliate circuit he averaged 12.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists over 21 games.
His college arc includes a standout year with the Wolverines, averaging 14.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 2022-23, and he also spent part of this summer on Utah's preseason roster.
What the waiver means
By leaving the Jazz roster, Harmon vacates a preseason spot and becomes a free agent until his next destination is settled. The move does not necessarily end his relationship with Utah, but follows the usual path between a training-camp or Exhibit 10 deal and a G League assignment.
For the Jazz, the waiver frees a preseason roster spot as the franchise trims its backcourt before training camp, with Keyonte George, Collin Sexton and the two-way core already shaping the main rotation.
Roster context
Harmon's waiver came on the same day Utah also released center Ibrahima Diallo, in a procedural movement window before preseason. The transaction fits the usual pattern with development profiles tied to the G League pipeline.
