Plowden will be waived by the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports Sunday.
Plowden was sent to the Suns as part of a historic seven-team trade that became official Sunday, though he'll now have to explore other opportunities. The 26-year-old appeared in six outings for Atlanta after signing a two-way deal with the team in December, averaging 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 12.0 minutes per game during that span.

Rotowire
Plowden registered two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Thursday's 133-109 victory over Brooklyn.

Hawks' Daeqwon Plowden: Transferred to NBA
Rotowire
Plowden was transferred from the G League's College Park Skyhawks to Atlanta on Monday.
With College Park missing out on the G League playoffs, Plowden will join the Hawks in the NBA to provide some depth to the roster.

Hawks' Daeqwon Plowden: Doesn't suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Plowden didn't play in Sunday's 126-108 G League loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers due to a right elbow strain.
The right elbow strain is a new injury for Plowden, and his next chance to suit up will come in the parent club's game against Memphis on Monday. The swingman has received the majority of his playing time in the G League, appearing in only two outings with the Hawks since signing a two-way contract with the club in December.

Hawks' Daeqwon Plowden: Returns to parent club
Rotowire
The Hawks recalled Plowden from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
Plowden is back with the parent club after playing three games in the last three days. After logging 36 minutes for College Park in Tuesday's 112-108 win over the Cleveland Charge, Plowden joined Atlanta for Wednesday's 110-94 win over the Bulls and made his NBA debut, recording 19 points in 25 minutes off the bench. Plowden then played 22 minutes for College Park in Thursday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Maine Celtics. Though he's rejoining Atlanta for Saturday's game in Boston, Plowden may not be included in the rotation if the banged-up Hawks are able to get one or more of De'Andre Hunter (foot), Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) back in action.

Hawks' Daeqwon Plowden: Shines in debut Wednesday
Rotowire
Plowden closed Wednesday's 110-94 victory over the Bulls with 19 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and four rebounds over 25 minutes.
Plowden played in an NBA game for the first time in his career, providing the Hawks with a much-needed scoring punch off the bench. He took advantage of the fact Atlanta was short-handed, something that may not last too long. While it is fantastic to see players like Plowden making a name for themselves on the biggest stage of all, it is unlikely to repeat itself any time soon.

Rotowire
The Warriors waived Plowden on Tuesday.
Plowden had previously agreed to a two-way deal with the Warriors but will now start the 2024-25 campaign as a free agent.

As a two-way player, Plowden will be eligible to make his NBA debut for the Warriors during the upcoming campaign, but the 25-year-old wing is still likely to see the majority of his playing time in the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Daeqwon Plowden: Hits waiver wire
Rotowire
Plowden was waived by the Magic on Saturday, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Plowden shouldered a nice chunk of playing time during Orlando's last preseason game against Flamengo, but he was unable to do much with the opportunity (three points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes). As a result, he'll head to waivers and could end up reporting to the Magic's G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic.

Daeqwon Plowden: Scores 19 points off bench
Rotowire
Plowden had 19 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a block across 24 minutes off the bench in Thursday's overtime win over Santa Cruz.
Plowden has had a lesser role for the Squadron this season, but he has been turning things around in recent weeks. That won't matter much, however, as Birmingham is already eliminated from the playoff race. Plowden has scored in double digits in each of his last three appearances.
