Washington initially signed a two-way contract with the Suns last August after being cut by the Indiana Pacers in July.
Washington signed a two-way deal with the Pacers after going undrafted in 2021 and turned in a standout rookie campaign in the NBA. The 3-point sharpshooter averaged 9.9 points in 20.2 minutes per game in 48 appearances during his first season.
Washington earned a multi-year contract with the Pacers last April, but the organization ended up waiving him as a means to clear cap space. Now Washington has been waived by two different teams in the past seven months.
