Suns waive Daeqwon Plowden

The Suns have waived Daeqwon Plowden, according to NBA.com’s transaction log.

Plowden came to Phoenix in the record-setting seven-team deal headlined by Kevin Durant being sent to the Rockets. Prior to that, the 26-year-old shooting guard played six games for the Hawks last year, mostly in the final days of the 2024/25 season, averaging 7.2 points and 1.8 rebounds while shooting 52.9% from three.

The Hawks, who also sent Clint Capela to the Rockets in a sign-and-trade, received David Roddy, a second-round pick swap in 2031, and cash from the Rockets as part of the massive deal.

Plowden will hit unrestricted free agency upon clearing waivers on Tuesday, unless someone claims him.

The Suns now have a pair of open two-way slots next to undrafted rookie CJ Huntley.
