Nassir Little: Cut by Heat
Little was waived by the Heat on Saturday.
After spending his first four seasons in Portland, Little took a step back during his time in Phoenix last season. The wing averaged just 3.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 10.2 minutes per game. He was unable to make enough of an impression to land on Miami's final roster, so the sixth-year pro will have to look for a new opportunity.

Suns' Nassir Little: Gets garbage-time run in return
Little (knee) played the final 2:58 of Thursday's 127-112 loss to the Celtics, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound.
Little was available to play for the first time since late February after a two-plus-week absence due to left knee inflammation, but as had been the case before him missing time with the injury, he wasn't a part of head coach Frank Vogel's rotation. He didn't check into the game until less than three minutes remained in the contest, when Boston had already built an 18-point lead and Phoenix had essentially conceded the win.
