The Suns announced that they were waiving Isaiah Canaan on Wednesday morning and would look to rookie Elie Okobo to step up as the team’s back up point guard later that night.
The Suns traveled to Los Angeles to complete their second back-to-back of the season as they tipped-off against the first-place Clippers.
Okobo entered the game midway through the first quarter and launched a three-pointer as the shot clock was expiring, but the ball bounced off the front iron. This miss didn’t seem to faze the 21-year-old from France as he remained aggressive and drove to the lane and laid it off the glass.
