The Phoenix Suns have bought out the contract of eight-year veteran big man Greg Monroe.
With nearly a week until the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 8, Monroe’s buyout comes at a surprising time, as he’s on an expiring $17.8 million contract.
The market for Monroe must have been dry, as there isn’t a reason as to why Phoenix would choose to go this route.
Several NBA teams have already expressed interest in Monroe, with the New Orleans Pelicans expected to pursue him heavily following the loss of DeMarcus Cousins to an Achilles injury.
After being acquired early in the season in a trade that sent guard Eric Bledsoe to the Milwaukee Bucks, Monroe appeared in 20 games for the Suns, starting in 14 of them.
During his brief stint in Phoenix, Monroe averaged 11.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.3 minutes per game.
