Gillespie suffered a right ankle fracture and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports. Gillespie, who is on a two-way deal with the Suns, has played only three minutes in one appearance this season. His absence is unlikely to impact Phoenix's rotation.
Gillespie (ankle) underwent an MRI on Monday and is out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Gillespie tweaked his ankle during Friday night's G League action, and the team has since elected to send him for further testing. The medical staff has yet to receive Gillespie's MRI results, but the injury is significant enough to rule him out for Tuesday's matchup. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.
Gillespie has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Sacramento with a right ankle sprain. Gillespie suffered the injury Friday while playing for the G League's Valley Suns. The third-year guard will likely spend most of the 2024-25 season in the G League after inking a two-way deal with Phoenix in July.
Gillespie rolled his ankle during Friday's 133-118 loss to the Santa Cruz Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Gillespie posted five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in two minutes before suffering the injury. Jaden Shackelford stepped up in Gillespie's absence.
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.
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 both 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 appearance 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.
Gillespie (knee) is inactive Sunday versus Memphis. Gillespie will be sidelined for a seventh consecutive game due to a left knee sprain. His next opportunity to take the court is undetermined as Denver continues fighting for its playoff matchup.
Gillespie is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left knee sprain. This is a new issue for Gillespie, and the severity of it is unknown. Gillespie is not typically in the rotation, however.
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.
