The Phoenix Suns waived guard Cole Anthony on Friday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported.
The Suns acquired Anthony and Amir Coffey from the Milwaukee Bucks before the Feb. 5 trade deadline in exchange for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis.
Phoenix made the trade to duck under the luxury tax, getting off Richards’ $5 million contract. Coffey has lately been in the rotation due to injuries to Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks, but Anthony never joined the team.
