The Utah Jazz have waived Otto Porter Jr., who subsequently announced his retirement.

Porter is not eligible to appear on the playoff roster of any team this season.

The Jazz acquired Porter from the Toronto Raptors at the trade deadline and had been away from the team. Porter won a championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2022 before signing a two-year, $12.4 million deal with the Raptors.

“For the past 11 years, I had the chance to live my lifelong dream of playing in the NBA,” said Porter Jr. “That dream was capped by winning an NBA Championship! Unfortunately, my body is not allowing me to play at the level that I expect of myself, and I have therefore decided to retire.”

The Phoenix Suns turned to a familiar face to fill a two-way roster spot. Phoenix signed wing Ish Wainright and waived guard Theo Maledon before Monday's deadline to make two-way contract signings.

Wainright previously spent two seasons with the Suns. He was waived ahead of this season and claimed by the Portland Trail Blazers. Wainright appeared in seven games for Portland before being waived in early-January.

Maledon appeared in four games for Phoenix. He was claimed off waivers from the Charlotte Hornets in mid-December.

The Philadelphia 76ers have waived Kenneth Lofton Jr. from his Two-Way deal.

Lofton appeared in two games with the Sixers this season.

Lofton went undrafted in 2022 out of Louisiana Tech.

Shake Milton has agreed to a buyout with the Detroit Pistons.

Milton will be eligible to sign with a team and appear in the playoffs with multiple contenders expected to pursue him.

Milton was acquired by the Pistons from the Minnesota Timberwolves at the deadline.
