After the Damian Lillard trade, which they participated in, the Suns had too many players in their group. It was necessary to do a major cleaning before the start of the season, to have a squad of only fifteen players and Ish Wainright was among the potential targets.
As expected, the winger was therefore cut by the Suns before the match against the Lakers on Thursday evening. A logical decision since he is injured in his right calf and has not played all preseason.
However, his adventure with Phoenix may not be over. “We have to hope it’s just a question of logistics”commented Frank Vogel for AZ Central. “We are very attached to Ish Wainright. »
The best way to get him back to Arizona is to sign him with a two-way contract. It is also through this door that he entered Phoenix in 2021. So, why cut it? Because we cannot convert a classic contract into a “two-way contract”. It is therefore necessary to release the player and then sign him again.
