The Phoenix Suns have announced they waived two players today, according to their X account. Guard Damion Baugh and forward Tyrese Samuel were released after short stints with the team.
Neither players were expected to make the regular season roster, which will likely constitute 15 players signed to NBA deals and three players on two-way contracts that can play up to 50 regular season games, which the Suns now have after waiving
Baugh and Samuel. Despite being on the roster, neither played in any of the Suns’ four preseason games.
Baugh, 25, played 15 games with the Charlotte Hornets after stints with both the New York Knicks and Lakers’ G-League teams. Samuel, 25, spent last year with the Valley Suns after not getting drafted in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Suns’ regular season starts a week from today at home at 7 PM local time against one of their divisional rivals, the Sacramento Kings.
