Haddadi was waived by the Suns on Saturday, the Arizona Republic reports.

The Suns have avoided paying Haddadi's $1.4 million contract for next season, instead doling out $200,000 in order to cut ties with him at the moment. He arrived in Phoenix at the trade deadline but did not play immediately, as he was out of shape. However, in 17 games with the team, he recorded 4.1 points (on 45.9 percent shooting), 5.1 boards, and 1.2 blocks in 13.8 minutes. At 7-2, 265, he should be able to land a deep reserve gig on a squad's frontcourt next season.
