Johnson among 12 Exhibit 10 waivers across the league Thursday

Atlanta waived Keon Johnson a day after signing him, part of a wave of 12 Exhibit 10 cuts logged on NBA.com Thursday. Others released include Jordan Riley in Detroit, Payton Sandfort and Nate Santos in Minnesota, three Blazers signees, and two Jazz players.

Most are ticketed for G League affiliates, where they can still collect bonuses worth up to $91K if they stick around 60 days. Johnson, a 2021 first-rounder who has bounced through the Clippers, Trail Blazers and Nets, spent last season in Maine's G League and could land with College Park next.
