The Suns have waived Ty-Shon Alexander, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic tweets.
Alexander, 23, played on a two-way contract last season. He went undrafted out of Creighton in 2020.
Alexander appeared in 15 regular-season games but he only averaged 3.1 MPG in those outings and scored a total of nine points. The 6’3” guard made a cameo appearance in Game 3 of the Finals against Milwaukee and also appeared in 15 G League games, averaging 9.3 PPG and 1.9 APG in 23.7 MPG.
In his last college season, he averaged 16.9 PPG, 5.0 RPG, and 2.3 APG on .431/.399/.860 shooting.
Having parted ways with Alexander, the Suns now have both of their two-ways slots open. The team is carrying just 14 total players, all on guaranteed contracts.
For like the past 3 years the Suns have had 1 two way player no more no less
Thats your cousin Shai, should be more sympathetic lol.
Pretty surprising, especially with them having lost both wing depth, and some guard depth. I liked him a lot going into last year’s draft, and thought he would go 19th (before Brooklyn traded that pick), assuming certain people were off the board by then, which they werent… if I recall correctly, he reminded me of Josh Richardson. Would like to see someone that needs help at those spots give him a look
They did have a couple of interesting guys on their summer league roster, so I would guess they’ll get the training camp invites, and have the chance for those 2 way spots
