The Phoenix Suns announced Monday they have waived forward Taylor Griffin, who played sparingly as a rookie in 2009.

The former OU basketball player appeared in eight games for the Suns and averaged 1.3 points in 4 minutes per game. Griffin also played for Phoenix's Iowa affiliate in the NBA Development League.

Griffin was a second-round pick, at No. 48 overall, in the 2009 NBA draft.
