  07/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Suns are trading Roddy to the Hawks in exchange for E.J. Liddell on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Roddy will likely compete for a depth role in Atlanta's forward rotation.

• Suns' David Roddy: Drops 21 points in Summer League

  07/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Roddy logged 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists a steal and a block over 28 minutes of Wednesday's 100-99 Summer League win over the Thunder. Roddy was fouled while attempting a game-winning three-pointer with less than a second left and sunk all three free throws to vault the Suns to victory. Roddy was dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline last season and didn't play more than 10 minutes in a game with the Suns. Similarly, Roddy is expected to be a fringe rotation piece in 2024-25.

• Suns' David Roddy: Fading from relevance

  03/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  Roddy scored two points (1-1 FG) in five minutes during Monday's 117-111 victory over Cleveland. Roddy has logged double-digit minutes only once across eight appearances since being dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline. The second-year wing failed to make an impact while Eric Gordon (knee) and Josh Okogie (abdomen) are unavailable bodes extremely poorly for his rest-of-season outlook. Memphis moving on from Roddy less than two full campaigns after drafting him in the first round symbolizes his struggle to carve out a niche in the league thus far.

• Suns' David Roddy: Available against Warriors

  02/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Roddy (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Royce O'Neale is also available to make his debut, and he's more likely to carve out a meaningful role in Phoenix. Roddy made 48 appearances for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers. He shot 40.2 percent from the field and 30.1 percent from beyond the arc, however.

• Suns' David Roddy: Sent to Phoenix

  02/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Roddy was traded from the Grizzlies to the Suns on Thursday as part of a three-team trade that sent draft-pick compensation to Memphis and Royce O'Neale to Phoenix, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Roddy saw consistent playing time for the Grizzlies for most of the first half of the season, and he saw increased work in recent matchups since Memphis was dealing with multiple injuries. Over 48 appearances this year, he's averaged 8.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game. He'll now move to a playoff contender that has also acquired O'Neale ahead of Thursday's deadline, but Roddy has proven to be capable of providing scoring and rebounding production off the bench when needed.
