Suns' Collin Gillespie: Joins Suns on two-way deal
Gillespie signed a two-way deal with the Suns on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Gillespie missed his entire rookie season with Denver while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured right leg. He returned to action last year, making 24 appearances before being shut down with a left knee sprain. Gillespie is presumably healthy after passing a physical to make this deal official, but he's certainly not guaranteed a rotational role with Phoenix in 2024-25.

Collin Gillespie: Bound for free agency
The Nuggets are declining to extend Gillespie (knee) a $1.87 million qualifying offer prior to Saturday's deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Along with Gillespie, the Nuggets also opted not to extend a qualifying offer to fellow two-way player Braxton Key, opening up a pair of two-way slots for undrafted rookies Trey Alexander and PJ Hall. Gillespie had served as a two-way player for the Nuggets for each of the past two seasons, though he didn't appear in the NBA or in the G League during his first professional campaign in 2022-23 while he recovered from surgery to repair a fractured right leg. Gillespie proceeded to make 24 appearances for the Nuggets in 2023-24, averaging 3.6 points, 1.1 assists and 0.9 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per contest. He missed the Nuggets' final game of the regular season due to a left knee sprain and then was ineligible for Denver's postseason run because of his status as a two-way player, but the expectation is that Gillespie will be back to full health for the start of NBA training camps in the fall.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Officially out Sunday
Gillespie (knee) is out for Sunday's game versus Memphis.
Gillespie hasn't appeared in a game since March 31, but he hadn't appeared on the injury report in any of Denver's last six games before he popped up on the report ahead of Sunday's contest with a left knee sprain. The point guard might have sustained the injury in a recent practice, and his absence Sunday means that his season is over; as a two-way player, he's ineligible to compete during the Nuggets' playoff run. Gillespie finished his rookie season with averages of 3.6 points, 1.1 assists and 0.9 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per game over 24 appearances.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Logs 21 minutes in victory
Gillespie finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 128-103 victory over Memphis.
Gillespie played at least 19 minutes for the second straight game, seeing an increased role as the Nuggets begin to navigate their way through the home stretch. He does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, making him a name to watch should we get notice that he is on track to play meaningful minutes once again.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Available vs. Portland
Gillespie (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Gillespie was a late addition to the Nuggets' injury report Sunday but will be able to suit up despite his right ankle sprain. However, he's unlikely to see much playing time.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Added to injury report
Gillespie is probable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right ankle sprain.
Gillespie was added to the Nuggets' injury report a few hours before Sunday's tipoff, but he'll likely be able to suit up despite his ankle injury. However, his status shouldn't significantly impact the rotation.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Logs two steals off bench
Gillespie finished with six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 loss to the Rockets.
Gillespie was on the fringes of Denver's rotation over the first six games of the season, as he totaled just seven minutes of playing time over two appearances during that span. However, he's now played double-digit minutes in four consecutive matchups with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, averaging 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.3 minutes per game. While Gillespie's overall impact has still been limited, he's racked up multiple steals on two occasions. Murray will likely miss the rest of the month due to his injury, but Gillespie is unlikely to have much fantasy upside as long as the rest of the team stays relatively healthy.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Gets first career buckets
Gillespie racked up five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 12 minutes during Saturday's 123-101 win over Chicago.
Gillespie missed the entirety of his rookie season due to a broken leg, but he finally got on the scoreboard in his third appearance of year two. Jamal Murray (hamstring) exited Saturday's game early, but Gillespie is unlikely to rise to fantasy relevance even if Murray misses time.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Solid showing in preseason
Gillespie produced 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block in 22 minutes during Thursday's 133-124 double-overtime loss to the Bulls.
Gillespie missed his entire rookie season last year while rehabbing from a leg injury suffered during his final campaign at Villanova. However, he returned to action during Summer League and continues to impress during preseason work. Gillespie will play under a two-way contract in 2023-24, but he's expected to spend most of the campaign in the G League.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Gets another two-way deal
The Nuggets confirmed Sunday that Gillespie will be re-signed on a two-way contract for the 2023-24 season, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
Gillespie missed all of the 2022-23 season while recovering from a gruesome leg injury suffered during his final year of college basketball, but he's returned to full strength during the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 7.8 points and 4.6 assists in 29.7 minutes across five appearances. He'll join center Jay Huff and forward Braxton Key as Denver's two-way players, but all three will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 season in the G League.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Practicing with Summer League team
Gillespie (leg) is practicing with the Nuggets' Summer League squad, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
It's unclear if Gillespie will play at all during Summer League, but it's encouraging to see him back at practice after missing all of his rookie season with a gruesome leg injury. He told reporters Tuesday, that he broke his tibia and fibula and dislocated his ankle during a pickup game last offseason. He planned on missing 6-9 weeks, but the recovery process was slower than anticipated. If available, he figures to be a key piece of Denver's Summer League squad over the next two weeks.

Nuggets' Collin Gillespie: Considered doubtful for Sunday
Gillespie (leg) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Gillespie has yet to suit up this season while rehabbing from offseason leg surgery, and while he's still expected to miss the regular-season finale, his upgrade to doubtful suggests he's making at least some progress. However, Gillespie likely won't factor into the Nuggets' postseason rotation, so he continues to have zero fantasy intrigue this season.
