Phoenix Suns waive guard Tyler Johnson
PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns waived veteran guard Tyler Johnson on Monday.
The 27-year-old Johnson was acquired in a trade with Miami in the middle of last season. He averaged 11.1 points per game last season after coming to the Suns, but struggled to find a consistent role this year, averaging a career-low 5.7 points in 31 games, including three starts.
He was in the final season of a four-year deal that pays about $19 million this year. Johnson has been battling a sore right knee and missed the past four games.
