No longer with Phoenix The Suns waived Kaminsky on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Kaminsky signed with the Suns midway through training camp to bolster the team's frontcourt depth, but he was unable to crack the roster. Expect the eight-year veteran to pursue opportunities elsewhere, and a return to Europe might not be out of the question. Kaminsky has averaged 8.8 points per game and shot 35 percent from three-point range in eight NBA seasons.

Joining Phoenix on camp deal Kaminsky agreed to a training camp contract with the Suns on Thursday, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Kaminsky spent the 2023-24 campaign with Servian club KK Partizan, but he'll compete for a roster spot with the Suns ahead of the 2024-25 season. He spent three years in Phoenix earlier in his career, averaging 9.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per game over 95 regular-season appearances.

Rare appearance in loss Kaminsky accumulated two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one assist in four minutes during Sunday's 134-109 loss to the Lakers.
Impact The Rockets dusted off Kaminsky in what was their eighth loss in the past nine games. Since arriving in Houston following the trade deadline, Kaminsky has played only eight occasions, five of which came in the first six games. He is obviously not a part of what they are building, meaning he is on the outside looking in when it comes to playing time.

Listed as available Kaminsky (recently traded) is available to make his Rockets debut Friday against the Heat.
Impact Kaminsky and Justin Holiday were both traded by Atlanta to Houston on Thursday and will both be available to debut for their new team Friday. The Wisconsin product will likely be competing with Usman Garuba for the top backup spot behind Alperen Sengun and doesn't figure to garner a large enough role to crack fantasy relevancy.

Hawks add depth, acquire Bey for 5 2nd-round draft picks
Atlanta is attempting to bolster its playoff hopes with two trades that involved the Hawks sending out a combined seven second-round draft picksFEBRUARY 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Heading to Houston Kaminsky and Justin Holiday were traded from the Hawks to the Rockets on Thursday in exchange for Garrison Mathews and Bruno Fernando, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Kaminsky hasn't been a consistent part of Atlanta's rotation in recent weeks, but he'll join a last-place Rockets squad that will likely prioritize the development of Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun late in the year. Kaminsky averaged just 2.7 points in 6.8 minutes per game with the Hawks, but even if he sees a slight uptick in playing time with the Rockets, he's unlikely to be a fantasy-relevant option.

One minute of garbage time Kaminsky finished with one assist in one minute during Friday's 139-124 win over the Knicks.
Impact Kaminsky saw the floor the first time in almost a week, playing just over a minute in garbage time. Clint Capela was out for a period of time (calf) but the former Wisconsin standout could barely crack the rotation even then. With Capela back, Kaminsky holds even less value in fantasy.

Deemed available for Friday Kaminsky (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.
Impact Kaminsky was deemed questionable for Friday's game due to a right foot sprain but will ultimately suit up. However, he's unlikely to garner a significant role with Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu both healthy and available.

Flagged as questionable Friday Kaminsky is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets due to a right foot sprain, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.
Impact Kaminsky has seen more minutes than usual over the past four games but still has reached double digits just once so far this season. He could cross that threshold again Friday if he suits up and Clint Capela (ankle) can't go, especially when that would be added to multiple other recent injuries for the Hawks.

Logs season-high 13 minutes Kaminsky ended Saturday's 121-109 loss to the 76ers with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes.
Impact Kaminsky saw increased minutes in the loss due to the fact Onyeka Okongwu was ruled out due to personal reasons. Prior to this game, Kaminsky had logged a grand total of 14 minutes all season, clarifying where he fits in the rotation. Simply put, there are no moves to be made here, even in deeper fantasy formats.

Logs six minutes in brutal loss Kaminsky chipped in four points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across six minutes during Monday's 139-109 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Kaminsky saw action for just the second time this season, logging a handful of minutes in garbage time. On most nights, Kaminsky is not going to feature in the rotation. He can put up limited value when handed sufficient playing time but based on the sample size thus far, those opportunities are going to be few and far between.

Could make Hawks debut Kaminsky (knee) will be available to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks in Abu Dhabi, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
Impact Kaminsky had been recovering from knee surgery that ended his 2021-22 season. However, with only Bogdan Bogdanovic (kneecap), Trent Forrest (illness) and Jalen Johnson (illness) being out for Thursday's game, Kaminsky will have the opportunity to make his Hawks debut. In nine games with the Suns last season, he averaged 10.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 20.1 minutes.

Joining Atlanta Kaminsky (knee) and the Hawks agreed to a one-year, minimum contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Kaminsky played just nine games for the Suns last year before suffering a knee injury that required surgery in early January and ended his season. With the Hawks, he should see depth minutes in the frontcourt as a floor-spacing big.

Let go by Phoenix Kaminsky (knee) was waived by the Suns on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kaminsky underwent knee surgery in January, and there's seemingly not much of a chance he would recover in time for the playoffs. So, the Suns opted to let him go, presumably to bring in someone able to contribute.
