The Jazz waived Carey on Friday, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Carey signed with Utah on a two-year, non-guaranteed contract in April. However, Carey didn't make any appearances for the team, so his release is unsurprising. The 22-year-old big man will be a free agent heading into the 2023-24 season.

Wizards' Vernon Carey: Records double-double
Rotowire
Carey had 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, an assist and a block across 31 minutes in Thursday's overtime win over Grand Rapids.

Carey is averaging 21.6 points and 9.6 rebounds per contest, so his absence will be a huge one for Capital City.
