Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

The Suns waived Ike Diogu and Solomon Jones on Wednesday.

The departure of Diogu and Jones bodes well for Luke Zeller and Diante Garrett to make the team. Diogu did have a good offseason and even played in the Olympics, but he's probably going to have to continue his basketball career overseas.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Suns sign F/C Ike Diogu to a non-guaranteed contract.

Diogu will be brought in for training camp as the Suns search for reinforcements up front. The former Arizona State star has had his career derailed by knee issues, but he's not giving up his NBA career without a fight.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Spurs waived F/C Ike Diogu.

Diogu's career has been derailed by knee problems, but we expect to see him pop up on another team's roster eventually.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Spurs signed F/C Ike Diogu to a 1-year deal, a source tells SI's Sam Amick.

Diogu is a former lottery pick and most recently played with the Los Angeles Clippers. However, after microfracture knee surgery two years ago, he has lost most of his burst and we would be surprised if he ever resurfaced with any fantasy value.

The Clippers waived forward Ike Diogu on Friday.

Diogu has talent, but has been slowed by severe knee problems his entire career. Look for him to possibly land with another team at some point this season.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Ike Diogu scored 18 points off the bench in Tuesday's loss to the Magic, hitting 7-of-10 shots from the field to go with five rebounds and no other statistics in 22 minutes.

The minutes and production simply aren't there for anything but massive formats, but he has shown flashes of ability in his time on the court. Ignore him, however, until he shows some consistency.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Ike Diogu double-doubled off the bench against the Hawks on Friday, scoring 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting with 10 rebounds and no other statistics in 22 minutes.

He shown flashes of ability, but still hasn't produced enough to be owned outside of truly massive formats. He belongs on waivers.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Ike Diogu hit 5-of-7 shots for 10 points and six rebounds in 18 minutes off the Clippers bench on Wednesday.

He's played pretty well lately for the Clippers and at least deserves a look from owners in deeper leagues. But he won't become relevant as long as Blake Griffin can walk.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Ike Diogu had seven points and eleven rebounds in Sunday's win over the Lakers.

With the Clippers short staffed in the front court and Blake Griffin in foul trouble early, Diogu saw some extra run. He would have had an impressive line if he would have hit his shots (1-of-6 from the floor). As of now he doesn't hold much value but occasionally is capable of putting up big front court stats.

Ike Diogu had 13 points and two rebounds in Friday's loss.

Even Ike Diogu, who has no fantasy value, can play well against the Warriors.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

The Clippers officially signed PF Ike Diogu.

L.A. is in need of frontcourt depth due to injuries to Craig Smith, Brian Cook and Chris Kaman, but Diogu isn't likely to see enough minutes to make a fantasy impact.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Clippers are expected to sign free agent PF Ike Diogu Wednesday.

With Craig Smith (back), Brian Cook (ankle) and Chris Kaman (ankle) all down, the Clips are just looking for healthy bodies. Diogu is coming off microfracture surgery and won't be on the fantasy radar.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Pistons released F Ike Diogu.

Diogu has gone from a 2005 lottery pick to journeyman very quickly, mainly due to microfracture surgery. Europe could be in his future.

Ike Diogu - F/C - Suns

Ike Diogu played four minutes and scored three points for the Pistons on Tuesday.

We're not sure he's a lock to make the team and should be ignored on draft night, either way.
