The Wizards entered Friday’s preseason game against the Raptors with 18 players. After their 119-82 blowout, they wasted no time finalizing their 15-man opening day roster in preparation for next Thursday against the Hawks. In a press release on Friday night, they announced that they parted way with Jarell Eddie, Johnny O’Bryant, and Casper Ware.

None of the three played during Friday’s game or last Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Two of the three cut players were on NBA rosters last season. Eddie was on the Wizards’ roster in 2015-16 as a midseason addition, while O’Bryant played the last two seasons for the Milwaukee Bucks.
