NBA training camps and late-September roster adjustments brought a flurry of minor transactions across the league, highlighted by the Washington Wizards signing four players to Exhibit 10 contracts and the Minnesota Timberwolves solidifying a full 21-man roster. Teams are shaping their preseason depth charts ahead of official camp sessions.
Washington Wizards Sign Four to Exhibit 10 Deals
The Washington Wizards signed Reece Beekman, Trevor Keels, Chris Livingston, and Steve Settle to Exhibit 10 contracts, according to a team announcement on Twitter. In a corresponding roster move, the organization waived KeShawn Murphy. Beekman, Keels, and Livingston arrive in Washington with varying degrees of prior NBA experience, having spent time with organizations such as the Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Settle spent the previous season in the NBA G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce—Miami’s affiliate—after going undrafted out of Temple.
Minnesota Timberwolves Finalize 21-Man Camp Roster
The Minnesota Timberwolves announced a full 21-man roster for training camp, which runs from September 29 to October 3, via an official press release. KJ Martin, Drew Timme, Norchad Omier, and Antonio Reeves joined the squad on non-guaranteed training camp contracts. While those four additions were previously reported, Drew Timme’s deal was officially finalized ahead of camp. Martin and Timme are slated to compete directly for a regular-season roster spot alongside Minnesota’s 14 players on standard contracts and three players on two-way deals.

Roster Adjustments Across Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Detroit
Other franchises utilized late-September transactions to evaluate talent and manage training camp limits:
- Brooklyn Nets: Opened a roster spot by waiving Nick Pringle from his training camp deal, as reported by Jake Fischer of The Stein Line via Twitter.
- Los Angeles Clippers: Waived Jason Preston and Hunter Sallis, making both players eligible for bonuses worth up to $91,000 should they play for the team’s G League affiliate in San Diego, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac.
- Detroit Pistons: Signed Brice Williams to an Exhibit 10 training camp contract, per RealGM’s transaction log and confirmed by Keith Smith. Williams previously spent last season with the Motor City Cruise following an E10 signing with Detroit last fall.
Preseason Outlook and Next Steps
As NBA training camps open across the league, these Exhibit 10 and non-guaranteed signings provide fringe players a final opportunity to secure two-way deals, G League assignments, or standard roster spots before the regular season tips off. Teams will use upcoming practices and preseason matchups to evaluate how these additions fit into their respective developmental and competitive pipelines.
