The Utah Jazz on Saturday waived point guard Derrick Rose, who was acquired as part of a three-way trade two days ago.
The 29-year-old Rose was traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers to Utah in a deal that also involved the Sacramento Kings prior to the NBA trading deadline on Thursday.
The Washington Wizards are one team expected to consider signing the former NBA MVP, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Wizards' John Wall is progressing with several more weeks of rehab following knee surgery.
Rose struggled in Cleveland, appearing in just 16 games (seven starts) while battling injuries. He averaged 9.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.3 minutes per contest with the Cavs.

He was the 2009 Rookie of the Year and 2011 NBA MVP while with the Bulls.
