All across the NBA, Wednesday’s 5 p.m. ET guarantee deadline came and went without a single player on a standard non-guaranteed contract being released, officially locking in deals for the rest of the 2023-24 season.
Teams had until the late-afternoon cutoff to waive players and avoid guaranteeing the remaining salary. Front offices largely chose roster certainty over cap flexibility; the only recent moves occurred earlier in the week, when Indiana let go of Tony Bradley and Toronto parted ways with Mo Bamba. Bradley later returned to the Pacers on a fresh contract.
Players Whose Contracts Are Now Fully Guaranteed
Atlanta Hawks: Vit Krejci, Mouhamed Gueye, Keaton Wallace
Boston Celtics: Jordan Walsh
Brooklyn Nets: Tyrese Martin, Jalen Wilson
Charlotte Hornets: Moussa Diabate
Cleveland Cavaliers: Dean Wade, Thomas Bryant, Craig Porter Jr.
Dallas Mavericks: Brandon Williams
Detroit Pistons: Javonte Green, Isaac Jones
Golden State Warriors: Trayce Jackson-Davis, Gui Santos
Indiana Pacers: Micah Potter
Miami Heat: Terry Rozier
Milwaukee Bucks: Amir Coffey
Minnesota Timberwolves: Bones Hyland

Phoenix Suns: Jordan Goodwin
Sacramento Kings: Precious Achiuwa, Keon Ellis, Russell Westbrook

The quiet deadline affirms roster stability for both players and teams as the league moves deeper into the season.
