Rotowire
Hutchinson stumbled to six points (1-12 FG, 0-3 3PT, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes of action in Saturday's 123-105 loss to Iowa.

However, Hutchinson was able to contribute in the peripheral department, logging eight rebounds and four assists in his limited time on the floor.

Rotowire
Hutchison was waived by the Suns on Tuesday, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Hutchison made six appearances for the Suns this season but never played over eight minutes in any of those contests. It's unclear what the future holds, but with so many rosters around the NBA decimated by COVID-19, he may find another NBA deal this season.

Suns' Chandler Hutchison: Active Sunday
Rotowire
Hutchinson (knee) is available for Sunday's contest against the Hornets.
The forward missed the team's last contest due to a knee injury, but is not listed on the injury report for Phoenix's battle with Charlotte on Sunday. Hutchinson has yet to long a game with over eight minutes yet this season, so it is probably best to steer clear of the Boise State product in all fantasy formats.

Suns' Chandler Hutchison: Makes Santa Cruz debut
Rotowire
Hutchison totaled 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist during Saturday's loss to South Bay.
Hutchison made his Santa Cruz debut and finished third amongst team scorers with 16 points. His performance from deep also marked a team best, and, although negative, his minus-one point differential was second best across Santa Cruz bench players.
Hutchison agreed to a contract with the Suns on Tuesday, Gerald Bourquet of FanSided.com reports.
After getting traded to San Antonio in part of the Spencer Dinwiddie-to-Washington trade, the Spurs waived Hutchison, who has since cleared waivers and signed with the Suns. The 25-year-old forward will bring depth to a crowded Suns frontcourt that includes Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder and Abdel Nader. This signing won't add much fantasy value to Hutchison as he likely won't see many minutes.

Spurs' Chandler Hutchison: Sent to San Antonio
Rotowire
Hutchison has been traded from the Wizards to the Spurs as part of the five-team deal that ultimately landed Spencer Dinwiddie in Washington, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Since being drafted 22nd overall in 2018, Hutchison has struggled to find a consistent role and has played just 97 games. Last season between the Bulls and Wizards, he averaged 4.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game. He shouldn't see much of a role increase with the Spurs.
