Kenneth Lofton: Let go by Utah
The Jazz waived Lofton on Wednesday.
Lofton signed a multi-year, non-guaranteed deal with the Jazz in March and made four appearances, averaging 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 22.8 minutes. However, he doesn't fit into Utah's long-term plans after a mediocre showing during Summer League. The Jazz also waived Darius Bazley on Wednesday.

Jazz's Kenneth Lofton: Season-best outing off bench
Lofton supplied 27 points (10-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 110-109 victory over the Clippers.
Lofton led all players in Friday's contest in scoring while shooting a perfect mark from the free-throw line and ending one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double. Lofton set a season high in scoring, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first time this year. His rebound total matched a season high, while his eight dimes set a season-high total.

Jazz's Kenneth Lofton: Fills stat sheet Thursday
Lofton totaled 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 124-121 victory over the Rockets.
Lofton posted several season-high marks in Thursday's win, and the uptick in minutes is related to the fact the Jazz have nothing to play for down the stretch. Don't be surprised if Lofton hovers around the 20-minute mark in the final two games of the season as well.

Jazz's Kenneth Lofton: Recalled from G League
Utah recalled Lofton from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars in advance of Tuesday's game against Boston, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Lofton was assigned to to the G League earlier Tuesday, but he will officially be elevated to the Jazz' roster alongside fellow new roster addition Darius Bazley. That being said, Lofton played 30 minutes in Tuesday's victory over the Wisconsin Herd, so the Jazz aren't likely to open up a rotation spot for him against the Celtics.

Jazz's Kenneth Lofton: Joins Utah on three-year deal
Lofton and the Jazz agreed to a three-year, non-guaranteed contract Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Lofton will move on to his third organization of the season after stints with the Grizzlies and 76ers. Because the deal is non-guaranteed, the Jazz can get a risk-free look at Lofton. Given the Jazz's position in the standings in addition to their mounting injury list, Lofton will almost certainly get an opportunity to play rotational minutes at some point down the stretch.

Kenneth Lofton: Cut by 76ers
The 76ers waived Lofton on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
During Lofton's limited time with the 76ers, he made just two appearances at the NBA level. The 21-year-old big man has been consistently dominant at the G League level, however, averaging 26.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 blocks, 1.1 three-pointers and 0.9 steals in 30.6 minutes per game over 13 appearances between the Delaware Blue Coats and Memphis Hustle. Upon clearing waivers, Lofton could attract interest from another NBA team on a 10-day or two-way deal.

76ers' Kenneth Lofton: Logs five minutes off bench
Lofton (personal) tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over five minutes Wednesday in the 76ers' 127-104 loss to the Warriors.
Lofton, one of Philadelphia's three two-way players, appeared in game for either the 76ers or the G League's Delaware Blue Coats for the first time since Jan. 10, after he had been out of action for most of the past month due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder as well as a personal matter. With the 76ers ruling out six other players to injuries, Lofton received some run off the bench in garbage time, but the second-year big man will likely head to Delaware once the NBA club is closer to full strength.

76ers' Kenneth Lofton: Won't play Saturday
Lofton (shoulder) is listed as out for Saturday's game versus Denver due to personal reasons.
Lofton, one of the 76ers' three two-way players, hasn't seen any action at the NBA or G League level since Jan. 10 due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder.
