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.

Joins Suns on two-way deal
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
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.
Bound for free agency
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
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.
Officially out Sunday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
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.
Doubtful for Sunday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
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.
Logs 21 minutes in victory
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
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.
