Samuel Hoiberg is off the Phoenix Suns roster as of the club's official filing on Friday, Sept. 25. The 23-year-old rookie has no NBA line from last season, and no injury report had flagged him beforehand.
The move
Hoiberg, 23, came off the Phoenix Suns roster in the team's official filing on Friday, Sept. 25. He is now off the roster. No report preceded the move; none is logged for him. He is a rookie with no NBA line from last season, and his position is not announced. The transaction was picked up through the team's official roster rather than through any announced signing or trade.
The money
Hoiberg's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a roster move by a day, so his cap hit and any years are not announced. The Suns carry $216.2 million across 18 contracts for 2026-27, over the first apron. Phoenix's payroll sits above the $165.0 million cap, past the $200.4 million tax line and the $209.0 million first apron, and below the $221.7 million second apron.
The fit
