Ryan Dunn SF | PHO
Suns' Ryan Dunn: Fails to take step forward
Dunn amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Despite opening the year in a starting role, the second-year forward was unable to hold down a spot in the Phoenix first unit this year. Dunn averaged 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.4 minutes per game over 70 appearances (16 starts) during the regular season.

Amir Coffey SF | PHO
Suns' Amir Coffey: Finishes season in muted role
Coffey provided no counting stats in one minute during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Coffey, an impending unrestricted free agent, failed to make much of an impact with Phoenix following a trade from the Bucks at the February deadline. Over 16 regular-season games for the Suns, Coffey averaged 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.1 minutes per tilt.

Suns' Jamaree Bouyea: Plays limited role in 2025-26
Bouyea recorded two points (1-1 FG) in one minute during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After opening the year under a two-way pact, Bouyea later signed a one-year contract with the Suns in March. The deal included a $2.58 million team option for 2026-27, which Phoenix will presumably pick up this offseason in order to fortify its backcourt depth. Bouyea averaged 5.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.0 minutes per contest through 46 games during the regular season.

Suns' Khaman Maluach: Subdued finish to rookie year
Maluach chipped in two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds across five minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The rookie first-rounder struggled for consistent playing time in 2025-26, finishing with averages of 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 8.9 minutes per tilt through 46 regular-season games. Barring the Suns losing Mark Williams (foot) in restricted free agency, Maluach might have a hard time cracking Phoenix's Opening Night rotation in 2026-27 with Oso Ighodaro also in the picture.

Rasheer Fleming PF | PHO
Suns' Rasheer Fleming: Quiet rookie campaign
Fleming finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one block and two steals over nine minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The 2025 second-rounder made a lone start during his rookie campaign, closing with averages of 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 steals in 12.2 minutes per tilt through 55 regular-season games. If the Suns are unable to retain Collin Gillespie this summer, Fleming would have an opportunity to claim a more prominent role in 2026-27.

Royce O'Neale PF | PHO
Suns' Royce O'Neale: Wraps up serviceable campaign
O'Neale supplied eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Suns battled plenty of injuries to their wings in 2025-26, allowing O'Neale to maintain a significant role throughout the year and draw 67 starts. Over 78 regular-season contests, the veteran swingman averaged a career-high 9.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.7 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per game while shooting 40.8 percent from deep. O'Neale is under team control for the next two seasons.

Grayson Allen SG | PHO
Suns' Grayson Allen: Chips in efficient 12 points
Allen ended with 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
A hamstring injury might have plagued him during Phoenix's brief playoff run, but there's no question that Allen was a particularly effective nine-category fantasy asset when healthy in 2025-26. Across 51 regular-season contests, the veteran swingman averaged a career-high 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per game. With a club option for 2027-28, Allen is set to remain with the Suns for at least one more year.

Dillon Brooks SF | PHO
Suns' Dillon Brooks: Finishes career year on high note
Brooks registered 23 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
In his first season with Phoenix following an offseason trade from Houston, Brooks put together perhaps his finest NBA campaign. Over 56 regular-season outings, the veteran forward averaged a career-high 20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.4 minutes per game. Brooks will be in the final year of his four-year contract during 2026-27.

Collin Gillespie SG | PHO
Suns' Collin Gillespie: Caps off breakout year Monday
Gillespie chipped in 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Gillespie enjoyed a breakout campaign with the Suns in 2025-26. Over 80 regular-season outings, the sharpshooter averaged 12.7 points, 4.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game while shooting 40.1 percent from downtown. Gillespie is set for unrestricted free agency this summer, and he certainly appears to be in line for a multi-year contract, whether it be with Phoenix or elsewhere.

Kevin Huerter SG | DET
Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Questionable for Wednesday
Huerter is questionable for Game 5 on Wednesday versus Orlando with a left adductor strain.
Huerter is in danger of missing Detroit's must-win contest Wednesday. If the sharpshooter cannot suit up, the likes of Daniss Jenkins, Caris LeVert and Javonte Green would all have an opportunity to step up.
