More moves are expected but for right now, Othyus Jeffers is the first to go.
The Suns waived the 6-foot-5 shooting guard Monday.
A training camp invitee, Jeffers appeared in one game. He had two points, two rebounds and an assist in five minutes of playing time in the preseason opener at Sacramento.
The Suns have 16 players on the active roster.
