O'Neale logged 21 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 win over the Clippers. O'Neale's production shot up significantly, and it's too soon to say if the spike is an outlier or a sign of future success. The deck is stacked against him due to a packed depth chart, but if he can come close to 30 minutes on a nightly basis, he may be able to generate productive lines that will exceed previous expectations.

O'Neale chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Monday's 109-105 victory over the Lakers. O'Neale is not known for being a player who will stand out due to his scoring ability, but he made a couple of key shots in the fourth quarter to ice the game for good. O'Neale is not expected to play a prominent role on offense for the Suns, however, and as good as this line was from a fantasy perspective, he's not expected to be a major contributor on offense regularly, particularly since he will continue to come off the bench regularly.

O'Neale is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers. The Suns are rolling out their expected starters for the preseason finale, meaning O'Neale will revert to a reserve role. That said, he's expected to see consistent minutes off the bench once the regular season begins as a wing player capable of defending multiple positions.

O'Neale will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. O'Neale will enter the starting lineup due to all of Phoenix's usual starters getting the night off. O'Neale will likely be a rotational piece for the Suns come the regular season.

O'Neale is expected to sign a four-year, $44 million deal to return to the Suns when free agency officially opens July 6, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Suns acquired O'Neale on Feb. 8, and he averaged 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals across 25.0 minutes in 30 regular-season games for the team. The 31-year-old also shot an efficient 37.6 percent from deep in that span. Even with Phoenix fizzling out in the playoffs with a first-round exit and the team having since replaced Frank Vogel as head coach with Mike Budenholzer, O'Neale is still viewed as a core rotational piece for the club heading into 2024-25.
