Bonzi Wells, Jermaine O’Neal Deactivated from Big3

It wasn’t a good day for a couple of former Trail Blazers.

The BIG3 basketball league surprised many with a news announcement on Wednesday saying that numerous player and staff changes were being made, including the deactivation of several big-name players. The players being deactivated include former NBA players Lamar Odom, Baron Davis, Bonzi Wells and Jermaine O’Neal.

According to the media release, the changes “are being implemented to maximize competition, protect the health of players, and to raise the level of professionalism of the BIG3.”

Neither Wells nor O’Neal had played in a game.
