The Phoenix Suns have waived guard Cole Anthony, sources told ESPN on Friday. The decision comes as the Suns look to finalize their roster depth following the recent NBA trade deadline.
Anthony joined the Phoenix Suns organization after being moved from the Milwaukee Bucks at the deadline. During his time with the Bucks this season, the 6-foot-2 guard appeared in 35 games, posting averages of 6.7 points per game. Known for his scoring ability off the bench, Anthony has been a rotation staple for much of his professional career.
Before his time in Milwaukee, Anthony was a key contributor for the Orlando Magic, who selected him with the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Over his four seasons in Orlando, he averaged 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. His release from the Suns marks a significant shift as the veteran guard now looks for a new home for the remainder of the season.
The Suns' move to waive Anthony opens up a roster spot, potentially signaling further activity in the buyout market. Anthony will now head to the waiver wire. If he is not claimed by another team within 48 hours, he will become an unrestricted free agent and will be eligible to sign with any team in the league.
