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 appearances. Lee is expected to be fully healthy ahead of training camp.
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 last 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 range. The six-year NBA veteran set a career-high 44.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Coach Frank Vogel said Friday that Lee (knee) remains out to start the postseason, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Lee missed the entire 2023-24 regular season but hopes to return during the postseason. Even if he gets the green light, the veteran guard isn't guaranteed a rotational role, especially if the Suns are playing well.
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 due to a right knee injury. Even if Lee can return for playoff action, it remains to be seen if he will factor into Phoenix's rotation.
Lee (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers. Lee has yet to suit up this season while recovering from right knee surgery. It is unclear if Lee will take the floor before the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
Lee (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans. Lee has yet to make an appearance this season, so his absence doesn't impact the rotation. The veteran guard remains without a clear timetable for return.
Lee (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. Lee has yet to resume on-court activities and has no clear timetable for his return, so he might miss the rest of the regular season and possibly the playoffs. The veteran guard has yet to play in 2023-24.
Lee (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, and there's no timetable for his return. The last substantial update from coach Frank Vogel came in mid-February, when he said Lee, who had meniscus surgery last October, has yet to resume on-court work. However, the Suns remained hopeful the veteran would return by the end of the regular season. The signing of Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day deal could be a sign that Phoenix is growing less optimistic about Lee suiting up this campaign. Last season, his first with the Suns, Lee averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 three-points and 1.4 assists in 20.4 minutes per game across 74 appearances.
