Nassir Little Waived by Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns have officially waived forwards Nassir Little and EJ Liddell, as reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. This decision is aimed at streamlining the roster and enabling greater flexibility in trades and signings throughout the season. The Suns are set to stretch the three remaining years and $22 million on Little's contract, which opens opportunities for rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro.
Impact on the Suns’ Roster
- Nassir Little: Previously part of a trade involving Deandre Ayton, Little did not meet the Suns’ expectations as a rotation player.
- Liddell: Acquired from Atlanta in exchange for David Roddy, his waiver provides $5 million in tax savings.
- Open Roster Spot: This flexibility allows for potential signings of buyout players and improves trade prospects.
