Suns' Griffin back in NBA after one-week stay in D-league

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns recalled rookie forward Taylor Griffin from the Iowa Energy of the NBA development league on Monday.

The club assigned the 6-foot-7 Griffin to Iowa on Dec. 7. He played in two games with the Energy, averaging 13.5 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four steals.

Griffin, who has appeared in two games for Phoenix, was the Suns' second-round pick -- 48th overall -- out of Oklahoma. He is the brother of the draft's No. 1 overall pick, Blake Griffin, who was chosen by the Los Angeles Clippers.
