Hayes-Davis was waived by the Bucks on Thursday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes-Davis was dealt to Milwaukee earlier in the day, but he'll become a free agent once he clears waivers. He struggled to make an impact in 27 appearances for Phoenix this season, averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 7.2 minutes per game, though he could receive another opportunity overseas should he seek one out.

The Suns traded Hayes-Davis and Nick Richards to the Bucks on Thursday in exchange for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a strong stint in Europe, Hayes-Davis returned to the NBA this offseason, but he was a non-factor in Phoenix with seven brief appearances to his name. It's hard to get excited about the 31-year-old's fantasy outlook on a Milwaukee team that is likely to pivot towards a rebuild. Hayes-Davis can be considered questionable to debut Friday against the Pacers.

Hayes-Davis (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes-Davis has popped up on the injury report with a right ankle sprain that puts his availability for Thursday in question. The 31-year-old is averaging just 1.4 points and 1.3 rebounds in 23 appearances this season and hasn't logged double-digit minutes since Dec. 10, so his potential absence shouldn't meaningfully impact the Suns' rotation.

Hayes-Davis ended Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Grizzlies with four points (2-2 FG), two assists and one steal over 14 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Dillon Brooks (groin) is still sidelined, and that's opened up some minutes at forward. Hayes-Davis has appeared in all five games to open the season, but his role leaves a lot to be desired with an average of 12.6 minutes per night and a shot rate of 10.3 percent.

Hayes-Davis will come off the bench Wednesday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes-Davis started in Phoenix's preseason finale with a lot of the key guys resting, but he'll head back to the bench for Wednesday's season opener. He'll be battling Royce O'Neale for the reserve minutes behind Ryan Dunn, which isn't ideal for fantasy hoops.

Hayes-Davis produced 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes of Tuesday's 113-104 preseason win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Hayes-Davis drew the start at power forward with the Suns resting the bulk of their rotation Tuesday. Hayes-Davis agreed to a fully guaranteed one-year contract on the opening day of free agency after a successful stint overseas. He's likely to compete with Oso Ighodaro for some backup power forward minutes this season.
