My autocorrect never figured out Mamadi. It always switched it to Maradi, which is a city in Niger. I don’t have a segue for this, but the breaking news of the day is that Mamadi Diakite has been waived by the Milwaukee Bucks.
Well now we know why Jon Horst didn’t mention Diakite in his rundown of the Bucks’ big man depth with @eric_nehm. https://t.co/C6oWV7KGyX

Diakite, 24, was a four-year player (and redshirt freshman) at the University of Virginia, playing an integral role in their 2019 NCAA Championship.
