Mirza Teletovic's unrestricted free agency appears to have lasted roughly one hour.

Shortly after the Brooklyn Nets removed their qualifying offer to the Bosnian forward on Thursday, the Phoenix Suns scooped him up with a one-year, $5.5-million deal, according to NBA TV's David Aldridge.

Teletovic, who has spent his entire three-year career with the Nets, averaged 8.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists this past season in Brooklyn, converting just 32 percent of his 3-point attempts after knocking down 39 percent in 2013-14.

He was limited to 40 games in 2014-15 after doctors found blood clots in his lungs in January, seemingly ending his season. Teletovic surprisingly returned to the court for three of Brooklyn's six postseason games in April, however.
