The Suns have waived Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Adonis Arms, the team announced in a press release relayed by Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports (Twitter link). Phoenix also confirmed that it has waived Saben Lee, whose release showed up earlier this week on NBA.com’s transactions log.
The moves bring the team’s roster down to 14 players, plus two on two-way deals. The Suns have 13 players with fully guaranteed contracts, along with Jock Landale, who appears to have made the team with a partially guaranteed deal.
Luwawu-Cabarrot has been a journeyman since being selected with the 24th pick in the 2016 draft, playing for five teams in six years. He appeared in 52 games with the Hawks last season and signed with Phoenix shortly before the start of training camp.
Arms signed with the Suns on Tuesday after he was waived by the Nuggets. Phoenix doesn’t have a G League team, so it’s not able to secure Arms’ G League rights.
I thought TLC would make their roster as wing depth at the 3/2 spots to replace Nader, though obviously they have a lot of depth there, but still surprised, especially with the Crowder situation looming. That being said, there are several potential options to fill in at the 4 for if they lose Crowder, so I can see leaving a roster spot open to potentially address that
Opponents do not expect physical play from the Phoenix Suns now that the team is without their
ADONIS !!
Idiotic move of the Sun’s to discontinue their G-League program. That and how little they spend on scouting/evaluations is going to catch up with them in the future. I felt it was always Sarver cost cutting, so will be interesting to see when new ownership takes over if that “philosophy” changes.
