Plowden will be waived by the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Plowden was sent to the Suns as part of a historic seven-team trade that became official Sunday, though he'll now have to explore other opportunities. The 26-year-old appeared in six outings for Atlanta after signing a two-way deal with the team in December, averaging 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 12.0 minutes per game during that span.

Plowden, who is on a two-way contract with the Hawks, is ineligible for the NBA Playoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Plowden appeared in a total of six games for the Hawks, averaging 7.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 12.0 minutes.

Plowden registered two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Thursday's 133-109 victory over Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Plowden suited up for just the fifth time all season, all of which have been garbage-time appearances bar one. It's clear Plowden is on the outside looking in when it comes to rotational minutes, averaging 5.2 points in 8.1 minutes this season.

Plowden was transferred from the G League's College Park Skyhawks to Atlanta on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
With College Park missing out on the G League playoffs, Plowden will join the Hawks in the NBA to provide some depth to the roster. The rookie swingman is logging 16.5 minutes per game over two appearances with Atlanta in 2024-25, but it's unclear what kind of role he'll have to close out the season.

Plowden didn't play in Sunday's 126-108 G League loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers due to a right elbow strain.
EDGE Analysis
The right elbow strain is a new injury for Plowden, and his next chance to suit up will come in the parent club's game against Memphis on Monday. The swingman has received the majority of his playing time in the G League, appearing in only two outings with the Hawks since signing a two-way contract with the club in December.

Plowden recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime G League loss to the Maine Celtics. Plowden will now get an opportunity to crack the Hawks' NBA rotation during Saturday's matchup with Boston.

Plowden closed Wednesday's 110-94 victory over the Bulls with 19 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and four rebounds over 25 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Plowden played in an NBA game for the first time in his career, providing the Hawks with a much-needed scoring punch off the bench. He took advantage of the fact Atlanta was short-handed, something that may not last too long. While it is fantastic to see players like Plowden making a name for themselves on the biggest stage of all, it is unlikely to repeat itself any time soon.
