The Phoenix Suns waived one of their longest-tenured players and a fan favorite in forward Ish Wainright today.
Coach Frank Vogel addressed the decision prior to tonight’s game vs. the Lakers.
“We’re hoping to bring him back first of all,” Vogel said. “We’re big on Ish Wainright, we’re believers in him.”
Re-signing Wainright is a real possibility. Because the Suns have one more two-way spot available, the team can re-sign Wainright. It would have to be on a two-way deal if he clears waivers in the next 48 hours.
Wainright had not played in a game for the Suns this preseason, as he had been nursing a right calf strain.
