The Brooklyn Nets waived small forward Chase Budinger and point guard Jorge Gutierrez on Tuesday.

The seven-year veteran Budinger played in 17 games for the Phoenix Suns in 2015-16, averaging 3.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game. Budinger played in four of the Nets' preseason contests, but failed to make much of an impact, averaging three points and 1.5 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per game.

Gutierrez is coming off of an underwhelming season with the Charlotte Hornets, playing sparingly in 12 games. The 27-year-old played in three preseason games with the Nets, averaging 3.7 points and two assists in 9.3 minutes per game.

The Nets' roster now stands at 16 players.
