Suns' Jalen Green: Drops 11 points in preseason loss
Green totaled 11 points (3-6 FG, 4-6 FT, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Monday's 109-107 preseason loss to the Pistons.
Green was one of three Suns players to score double digits, an encouraging sign given all the injury concerns he had last season. While this was obviously a very small sample size, Green looked energized on the offensive end, a positive sign for anyone considering him in drafts. As a result of basically missing the entire 2025-26 campaign, managers are showing caution when it comes to drafting him, typically targeting him well past pick 100. As a player who can routinely put up in excess of 20 points per game, Green makes for a highly valuable late-round target.

Suns' Khaman Maluach: Limited in bench role
Maluach closed with six points (3-5 FG, 0-3 FT, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 17 minutes during Monday's 109-107 preseason loss to Detroit.
Maluach came off the bench in the preseason opener, perhaps a sign of what's to come once the regular season gets underway. While he did log more minutes than Oso Ighodaro, Maluach's production left a lot to be desired, particularly on the offensive end. Of the two players, Maluach likely has more upside when considering him with a late-round pick. However, managers should temper their expectations, at least until we have a decent sample size of what he is capable of during competitive NBA basketball.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Struggles despite start Monday
Ighodaro finished with three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 14 minutes during Monday's 109-107 preseason loss to Detroit.
Despite getting the starting nod over Khaman Maluach, Ighodaro did very little to push his case as the long-term starter. Luckily for him, Maluach also fell short of the mark during his time on the floor, highlighting what could end up being an ongoing issue for the Suns. If Ighodaro does manage to hold onto the starting role once the season proper comes around, he would be on the radar as a last-round flier, albeit when seeking rebounds and steals only.

Suns' Devin Booker: Nets 13 points in 16 minutes
Booker recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 16 minutes in Monday's 109-107 preseason loss to the Pistons.
Booker was limited to the first half of play in the Suns' first preseason game, but he looked good in his limited minutes and finished with a plus-18 differential. He did a nice job running the offense and was aggressive with his shot selection, so he looks all set up for another big season as the main man in Phoenix.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Starting Monday
Ighodaro will be in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason opener against the Pistons, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Ighodaro has been battling Khaman Maluach for the starting center spot at training camp, but the former appears to have the edge in the competition. In 24 starts last season, Ighodaro averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 turnovers per game.

Suns' CJ Huntley: Will suit up Monday
Huntley (hamstring) will be available for Monday's preseason opener against the Pistons, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Huntley missed the Suns' final three Las Vegas Summer League games with a hamstring injury, though he's good to go for the team's preseason opener. The two-way player figures to spend most of his time with the G League's Valley Suns this season.

Suns' Duop Reath: Good to go for preseason opener
Reath (foot) will be available to play in Monday's preseason opener against the Pistons, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
The big man signed with the Suns in mid-September following the news that Mark Williams (shoulder) would miss several months, and Reath will compete for a spot in Phoenix's rotation during the preseason. Over 32 regular-season appearances for the Trail Blazers in 2025-26, he averaged 2.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Keeping focus on basketball
Brooks, who was formally charged Tuesday with driving under the influence for an incident that took place on March 6, is focused on preparing for the upcoming 2026-27 season, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Brooks has been a fiery competitor to start camp, and his teammate Devin Booker stated Thursday that he isn't concerned about any potential distractions. "Nah, we already addressed it as a team back in February or March, when it happened," said Booker. "We kept everything in-house. He addressed the team also. We're moving on." Brooks is in line to open the upcoming 2026-27 season as part of the starting lineup after scoring 20.2 points per game in 56 regular-season appearances a year ago.

Suns' Khaman Maluach: Third-year option exercised
The Suns exercised the team's third-year option for 2027-28 on Maluach on Thursday.
This was a no-brainer decision after Maluach was selected in the first round last year. Maluach could be primed to take on a significantly larger role in Phoenix's frontcourt, which has a major void due to Mark Williams' offseason shoulder injury.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Fourth-year option picked up
The Suns exercised Dunn's fourth-year option for 2027-28 on his rookie contract Thursday.
This was the expectation as Dunn plays out the final year of his rookie deal in 2027-28 ahead of restricted free agency the following year. He figures to be contending for a bench role with the likes of Jordan Goodwin, Haywood Highsmith, Rasheer Fleming and perhaps even rookie first-rounder Koa Peat at training camp this fall.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Competing for starting role
Ighodaro is competing with Khaman Maluach for Phoenix's starting center job while Mark Williams is sidelined by a shoulder injury, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic of The Arizona Republic reports.
Ighodaro said Wednesday that he and Maluach have been competing for the past two months and that he doesn't believe his experience from last season guarantees him the starting role. With Williams expected to miss multiple months, Ighodaro and Maluach should both have opportunities to earn substantial frontcourt minutes, though the competition could make their respective fantasy roles difficult to project entering the regular season.

Suns' Luke Kennard: Encouraged to shoot more
Kennard said Monday that head coach Jordan Ott has encouraged him to significantly increase his three-point volume this season, Shane Young of the Suns' official site reports.
"They want me to shoot, and they want me to shoot a lot," Kennard said, adding that he's been given the green light to attempt both open and more difficult looks. Kennard led the NBA by shooting 47.8 percent from three during the 2025-26 regular season but attempted only 3.1 triples per game. Ott has already warned Kennard that the increased volume could prevent him from leading the league in three-point percentage again, but a more aggressive approach from beyond the arc could boost the veteran sharpshooter's scoring production in Phoenix.

Suns' Jalen Green: Gets help from Steve Nash
Green said Monday that improving his playmaking and pace were major focuses during the offseason, with the guard working with Hall of Famer Steve Nash to develop those areas of his game, according to Suns reporter Ethan Kinney.
Green said Nash has helped him better understand how to read the floor and control the pace of a game, which could prove particularly useful with Phoenix looking to emphasize transition opportunities this season. Green averaged 17.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 32 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, and growth as a facilitator would add another dimension to his offensive profile.

Suns' Khaman Maluach: Draws praise from Booker
Maluach earned significant praise from Devin Booker on Monday for the progress he's made during the offseason, Shane Young of the Suns' official site reports.
"I'd say he's taken the biggest leap of anyone I've seen this summer," Booker said of the second-year center. Maluach averaged just 8.9 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances as a rookie, but he followed that limited role with an impressive showing at Summer League. Booker's strong praise provides another encouraging sign that Maluach could be ready to take on a substantially larger role in Phoenix's frontcourt in 2026-27.

Suns' Devin Booker: Feeling healthy this year
Booker is feeling the healthiest in his career this year, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.
Booker is looking forward to his 12th year with the Suns in 2026-27 and is set for another huge campaign as the team's top scoring option. The star guard stands out as a safe investment in the early rounds of fantasy drafts, having played at least 64 games in each of the past eight seasons while averaging at least 25 points, five assists and nearly four rebounds plus one steal in all of the last four years.

Suns' Kennedy Chandler: Lands camp deal with Phoenix
Chandler signed a training camp contract with the Suns on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.
Chandler is set to compete for a spot on the Suns' regular-season roster during training camp. The 24-year-old point guard appeared in 11 regular-season games (two starts) with Utah in 2025-26, averaging 15.0 points, 6.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 triples and 1.0 steals while shooting 39.5 percent from downtown in 32.3 minutes per outing.

Suns' Phillip Wheeler: Signs camp deal with Phoenix
Wheeler signed a training camp contract with the Suns on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.
Wheeler could compete for a regular-season roster spot in training camp. However, the organization now owns his G League rights, so it's possible he'll be waived before camp begins. Over 46 games with the G League's Osceola Magic last season, Wheeler averaged 14.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per showing.

Suns' Duop Reath: Inks pact with Phoenix
Reath (foot) agreed to a one-year veteran minimum contract with the Suns on Wednesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
With Mark Williams (shoulder) expected to miss around five months, Reath figures to compete for playing time with Khaman Maluach and Oso Ighodaro. Reath's 2025-26 campaign was cut short after he underwent right foot surgery in late January, and it's unclear if he'll be at full strength for training camp. Across 32 regular-season appearances for the Trail Blazers in 2025-26, he averaged 2.9 points and 1.2 rebounds across 8.1 minutes per contest.

Suns' Khaman Maluach: Expanded role on horizon
The door is open for Maluach to start at center for the Suns in the wake of Mark Williams' offseason shoulder surgery, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.
The 2025 first-rounder is coming off a promising Summer League run, averaging 19.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 53.2 percent from the floor over four appearances. Williams is expected to miss around five months, so the runway with Phoenix's top spot at center could be a long one. Maluach does have Oso Ighodaro to overcome for the role, so fantasy managers should keep close tabs on what projects to be a fierce camp competition.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Primed for larger role
Ighodaro has a chance to begin the season as Phoenix's starting center after Mark Williams underwent shoulder surgery Thursday.
The expectation is that Williams will be on the shelf for about five months, likely ruling out the big man until sometime around the All-Star break. Ighodaro filled in serviceably when Williams was injured in 2025-26, as the former averaged a productive 8.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 27.4 minutes per game while shooting 67.4 percent from the field over 22 regular-season appearances with Williams unavailable. However, Ighodaro did shoot a paltry 40.8 percent from the free-throw line in those outings. Benjamin Garcia of the Locked On Podcast Network is hearing internal praise directed toward Khaman Maluach, who just averaged 19.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals per game across four appearances in a dominant Summer League run, so the Suns appear to have an intense camp battle brewing for the top center spot in Williams' stead.
