Overview
- Phoenix announced the move on Feb. 27 after acquiring Anthony in a Feb. 5 three-team trade with the Bucks and Bulls.
- Anthony never joined the Suns and had been listed as “not with team” since the deal.
- Because he was waived before March 1, he will retain playoff eligibility if signed by another team after clearing waivers Sunday.
- The waiver creates a standard roster opening, and local reporting indicates Jamaree Bouyea is expected to be promoted from his two-way slot.
- Phoenix delayed the decision while monitoring backcourt injuries and a possible buyout, and the original trade also helped the Suns slip below the luxury tax while adding Amir Coffey.
