• Suns' Damion Lee: Staying in Phoenix

  07/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lee (knee) and the Suns agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. After missing the entire 2023-24 campaign while recovering from meniscus surgery, Lee will get another chance to prove his worth with the Suns. Back in 2022-23, Lee was a key rotation player for the Suns, averaging 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.4 assists in 20.4 minutes over 74 regular-season appearances. Lee is expected to be fully healthy ahead of training camp.

  06/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Lee (knee) declined his $2.85 million player option with the Suns on Saturday, and he will test unrestricted free agency, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Lee saw decent playing time in his first, and possibly final, season with Phoenix. The 31-year-old averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 20.4 minutes in 74 regular-season games. What was most impressive about Lee's game was his improved shot from long range. The six-year NBA veteran made a career-high 44.5 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.

• Suns' Damion Lee: Hopes to return in postseason

  04/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coach Frank Vogel said Wednesday that Lee (knee) has done some light shooting, and while he isn't expected to return before the end of the regular season, the Suns hope to have him back at some point in the playoffs, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Lee will likely miss the entire 2023-24 regular season while he completes his recovery from the surgery he underwent in October to repair a torn meniscus. Though he appears to be close to a return and may make it back for the playoffs, Lee isn't a sure bet to factor into Phoenix's rotation, given his long layoff along with the fact that he was only a minor contributor off the Suns bench when he was healthy in 2022-23.
