Suns Waive Cole Anthony After Trade, Never Played for Team

Cole Anthony has been officially waived by the Phoenix Suns, weeks after being acquired at the NBA trade deadline. Anthony failed to appear in any games for the Suns, who reportedly had no intention of keeping him long-term and needed to get under the luxury tax. He was consistently listed with a "not with team" designation. Prior to the trade, he played 35 games for the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 6.7 points. His waiver allows the Suns to convert Jamaree Bouyea to a standard contract and free up a two-way roster spot.
