Stiemsma was waived by the Trail Blazers on Saturday, RealGM.com reports.

Stiemsma was battling Grant Jerrett and Tim Quarterman for the 15th and final roster spot to start the season, but the Trail Blazers opted to go with the younger player in Quarterman, who appears to have more potential as a prospect. Stiemsma is unlikely to field interest from other teams prior to the regular season, so he'll either head overseas or he could also start the year in the D-League with the Raptors' affiliate, the Raptors 905.
