The Suns have agreed to part ways with guard Austin Rivers two days after acquiring him in a trade, reports ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

According to Wojnarowski, both sides agreed that the 26-year-old Rivers would fit an older team pursuing the playoffs. Rivers is earning $12.6 million in the final year of his deal and he'll become a free agent after clearing waivers.

The Wizards and the Suns agreed to a deal on Saturday that sent Trevor Ariza to Washington in exchange for Rivers and Kelly Oubre. This deal came after a previous possible three-way trade fell apart.
