Clippers decide to let go of Ewing and Singleton

The Clippers waived guard Daniel Ewing on Friday, and declined to tender a qualifying offer to forward James Singleton, making him an unrestricted free agent tonight.

Ewing averaged 3.4 points, 1.4 assists and 13.3 minutes per game in two seasons with the Clippers, who made him the 32nd overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft.

Singleton, signed as a free agent before the 2005-06 season, averaged 2.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 10.1 minutes a game in two seasons with the Clippers. In addition to not making him a qualifying offer, they declined the third-year option on his contract.

Cal State Fullerton’s Bobby Brown, who was not drafted in Thursday’s NBA draft, will play for the Charlotte Bobcats’ summer team next month.

Brown is hoping to earn a spot on the Bobcats’ roster as a point guard, his agent, Aaron Mintz, said. Charlotte drafted two forwards on Thursday, and Friday released veteran point guard Brevin Knight, which leaves the team without a backup under contract to play behind Raymond Felton.

“There’s an opportunity for a young point guard to come in and play his way onto the team,” Mintz said. “There is an opportunity for [Brown] to go out there and earn a spot. That’s all you can ask for.”

Charlotte is participating in the Orlando, Fla., summer league from July 9-13.

The Utah Jazz made qualifying offers to guards Dee Brown and C.J. Miles, making both players restricted free agents.

It means the Jazz can match any offer made to Brown or Miles from other teams that want to sign them. Terms of Utah’s offers were not available.
