CJ Huntley Waived By Suns

Forward CJ Huntley has been waived by the Suns, according to John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 (Twitter link).

Phoenix is also cutting Koby Brea. Both players were on two-way contracts.

Huntley went undrafted last year out of Appalachian State. He signed a two-way contract with Phoenix shortly after the draft but was waived in mid-November.

A 6’11” forward, Huntley re-signed with the Suns on a two-year, two-way deal in March. The 24-year-old made four appearances as a rookie with Phoenix, averaging 3.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game.

While his NBA role was modest, Huntley put up solid numbers in the G League with the Valley Suns. In 42 games (27.0 MPG) with Phoenix’s affiliate team, he averaged 15.3 PPG, 8.2 RPG and 1.0 BPG, with a shooting line of .623/.341/.670.

The Suns are reportedly expected to convert Duop Reath’s Exhibit 10 contract to a two-way deal. But even if that comes to fruition, the Suns will have another two-way spot to fill after waiving Brea and Huntley.
