Will the Suns release Frank or Elf to get Ish Wainright on the playoff roster?

The Phoenix Suns may be the deepest team in the league, but they might still want the talents of their former footballer turned bballer Ish Wainright at their disposal come playoff time.

Ish Wainright was signed by the Suns back on October 21, 2021 under a two-way contract which, under relaxed mid-pandemic rules, has allowed him to stay with the Suns all year just like any other player on the roster. In other years, a two-way’s involvement with the big club is limited, by the COVID-19 pandemic changed all that and it’s been treated like a 16th roster spot this season.
