| The Suns will waive Maledon on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

| Let go by Charlotte Maledon was waived by the Hornets on Thursday. The Scoop: Maledon played double-digit minutes in his first 10 appearances of the season but fell out of Charlotte's rotation in recent weeks. He'll be free to seek out other opportunities if he clears waivers. Dec 14 11:19 ET |
| Back to bench Maledon won't start Friday's game against the Bucks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. The Scoop: Maledon drew a spot start Tuesday against Miami with Brandon Miller (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (hamstring) unavailable. However, Hayward and Miller have both been cleared to return Friday and will reclaim starting roles, sending Maledon back to a bench role. Miles Bridges (suspension) is also available for the first time this season, so Maledon's path to playing time is clouded. Nov 17 10:34 ET |
| Gets starting nod Maledon will start at shooting guard in Tuesday's game versus the Heat. The Scoop: Maledon will make his first start of the season Tuesday due to many of Charlotte's backcourt players being out with injuries. The 22-year-old has appeared in all nine of the Hornets' games to date, averaging 5.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 steals in 18.3 minutes per contest. Nov 14 11:44 ET |
| Hauls in six rebounds Maledon produced five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 128-119 loss to Houston. The Scoop: Maledon has had consistent playing time off the bench early in the 2023-24 campaign and has now played 20-plus minutes in back-to-back matchups. While he's had some success on defense with seven steals over the past three games, he hasn't displayed much fantasy upside overall, averaging 6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game.
