Motley signed a contract with the Incheon Electroland Elephants of the Korean Basketball League earlier this month, Dario Skerletic of Sportando.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Motley is overseas for the first time in his career after spending time both at the G League and NBA level since going undrafted out of Baylor in 2017. Before getting the opportunity in Korea, Motley had attended training camp with the Suns in December, only to get cut loose before the start of the season. He'll look to impress in Korea with the hope of garnering renewed interest from NBA teams heading into 2021-22.

Motley was waived by the Suns on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old joined the Suns on a camp deal and unsurprisingly didn't make the season-opening roster. Motley is a likely candidate to join the team's G League affiliate in Northern Arizona.

Motley agreed Monday with the Suns on a training-camp deal, Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Motley will move on to another organization after the Clippers opted not to re-sign him following back-to-back seasons as a two-way player for Los Angeles. The 25-year-old big man has seen sparse action at the NBA level over his three professional seasons, but he's at least been productive on a per-minute basis over his 46 career games (averages of 21.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per 36 minutes). If Motley is unable to win a spot on Phoenix's opening-night roster, he'll likely join the Suns' G League affiliate in Northern Arizona.

Motley totaled 33 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's G League win over Stockton.
EDGE Analysis
Motley started the second half with a bang, and perhaps the only thing that inhibited him on the evening was his five personal fouls. He's now averaging 23.4 points and 8.1 rebounds in 19 games at the level this season.

Motley tallied 30 points (11-18 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 35 minutes Tuesday for the G League's Agua Caliente Clippers in their 117-103 win over the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
EDGE Analysis
With career averages of 23.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 33.1 minutes over 78 games in the G League during the past two-plus seasons, Motley doesn't have much left to prove at the level. That being said, his status as a two-way player limits him to only 45 days with the NBA Clippers, so he's likely to remain with Agua Caliente for the foreseeable future unless a rash of injuries hits the Los Angeles frontcourt.

Motley tallied 27 points (12-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and a block in 33 minutes during Sunday's G League win over Stockton.
EDGE Analysis
Motley got the start and rewarded the decision with a huge performance. He hadn't played in Agua Caliente's last three games and hasn't started regularly of late, but the 24-year-old has performed well when given the chance, averaging 21.2 points across 16 G League games this season.

Motley scored 32 points (14-23 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT) and added seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and five blocks during Thursday's G League win over Skyforce.

Motley was transferred from the G League to the NBA on Wednesday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Motley has appeared in just one NBA game this season, racking up four minutes during the second game of the year. It remains likely that he'll see most of his run in the G League.
