1:28pm: The Suns are converting the two-way contract of rookie forward Ishmail Wainright into a standard deal, making Wainright eligible for the playoffs, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
Wainright has seen action in 44 Suns games this season, averaging 2.1 PGG and 1.2 RPG in 7.4 MPG. The 27-year-old signed his two-way contract in October after being waived by Toronto during training camp.
It’s unlikely that Wainright will see much action in the playoffs, but he might be employed as a defensive specialist in certain situations.
Wainright, who went undrafted out of Baylor in 2017, played for a number of international leagues prior to this season.
