Still sidelined Cooper (calf) won't play in Thursday's game against Boston.

Impact Cooper will miss a third consecutive contest due to a strained right calf. The 24-year-old guard has exclusively played in garbage time this season, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Hawks.

Rare appearance in rare win Cooper ended with no counting stats across three minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 win over the Hawks.

Impact Cooper saw the court for just the third time this season, as the Wizards won for just the second time in the first 17 games. Despite the fact that Washington is going to be prioritizing its youth, it doesn't appear as though Cooper is high on the priority list right now, making him a non-factor in all formats.

Inks two-way deal with Washington The Wizards signed Cooper to a two-way contract Friday.

Impact Cooper hasn't played in the NBA since 2021, when he was selected in the second round of the draft. He rarely saw the floor during his rookie campaign, playing 3.0 minutes across 13 appearances. He'll try to make an impression with his new squad on a two-way deal while trying to crack the rotation in a crowded backcourt headlined by CJ McCollum, Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore.

Inks 10-day deal with Cleveland Cooper signed a 10-day deal with the Cavaliers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact A 2021 second-round pick by Atlanta, Cooper hasn't appeared in an NBA game since his rookie campaign, when he made 13 appearances for the Hawks. He has spent the last two seasons with the G League's Cleveland Charge and averaged 18.1 points on 45.3 percent shooting across 34 appearances for them this season. Outside of Ty Jerome (ankle), Cleveland's backcourt is healthy, so Cooper won't be guaranteed playing time.

Cut by Cleveland Cooper was waived by the Cavaliers on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Cooper was unable to prove he belongs on the NBA roster, so he'll head to waivers. The Auburn product figures to spend the majority of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League with the Cleveland Charge.

Impact Cooper spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign with the G League's Cleveland Charge, and he'll now join the Cavaliers ahead of the 2023-24 season. He'll presumably have the chance to compete for a roster spot during camp, but it's certainly possible he winds up back in the G League once the season gets underway.

Transferred to parent club Cooper was transferred from the G League's College Park Skyhawks to Atlanta on Wednesday.

Impact College Park's season ended Tuesday following a 131-122 loss to the Capital City Go-Go during the G League playoffs. The rookie second-round pick has made 11 appearances at the NBA level this season, but he's unlikely to crack Atlanta's rotation during the final week of the regular season.

Returns to G League Cooper was transferred to the College Park Skyhawks of the G League by the Hawks on Friday.

Impact Cooper was recalled by Atlanta on Thursday and didn't see the court during the 130-124 win over the Bulls. The 20-year-old has averaged 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists over 29.1 minutes in the G League this season.

Called up by Atlanta The Hawks recalled Cooper from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.

Impact Atlanta is likely bringing the two-way player back in advance of Thursday's game against the Bulls as an insurance option out of the backcourt in the event Trae Young (ankle) -- who is listed as a game-time decision -- doesn't play. The Hawks are still likely to turn to Delon Wright as the starting point guard if Young sits, so Cooper will probably be in store for nothing more than a limited role as Wright's backup in that scenario.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back with parent club The Hawks recalled Cooper from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

Impact Cooper will rejoin the NBA team ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kings, though he's unlikely to be included in head coach Nate McMillan's rotation. The rookie point guard most recently played Tuesday for the Skyhawks, totaling 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes in College Park's 105-102 win over the Long Island Nets.
