The Phoenix Suns activated guard Leandro Barbosa today after he spent the last nine games on the injured list with a left ankle injury. The team also released guard William ?Smush? Parker from his second 10-day contract today.

Barbosa is averaging 5.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists in 14.9 minutes in 30 games in 2004-05.  The 22-year-old playmaker was placed on the injured list on Jan. 19, one day after spraining his left ankle when he stepped on guard Steve Nash?s foot in practice.

Parker, who signed two 10-day contracts with Phoenix, averaged 3.0 points in 6.8 minutes in five games with Phoenix.  He originally signed with the club on Jan. 19.
