Royce O’Neale Latest News
Starting Game 3
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale will start Friday's Game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports. Grayson Allen (ankle) will sit out Game 3, but he's considered day-to-day and could be back for Game 4 on Sunday. In 14 starts during the regular season, O'Neale averaged 10.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.9 three-pointers.
Strong from deep to lead bench
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale had 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and four rebounds in 26 minutes during Saturday's 120-95 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals. O'Neale led all Suns players in threes made while leading all Phoenix bench players in scoring and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a postseason defeat. O'Neale connected on four or more threes in 13 games during the regular season, nine of which came off the bench. He concluded the regular season schedule with 10 or more points in two of his final four contests.
Shifts to bench
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale will come off the bench Friday night against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. O'Neale drew a start at small forward Wednesday over Grayson Allen as the team experimented with a new lineup, but O'Neale will head back to the bench for Friday's clash. The Baylor product has shown that he can produce off the bench, collecting 10 points and 11 rebounds in 29 minutes Tuesday as a reserve.
Balanced outing in starting lineup
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale ended Wednesday's 124-108 victory over the Clippers with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes. O'Neale got the starting nod Wednesday, replacing Grayson Allen in the lineup while ending as one of four Suns players to tally 15 or more points while swiping a team-high trio of steals in a balanced performance. O'Neale, who also connected on a trio of threes, has posted at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in two games this year -- this being his first while in the starting lineup.
Enters starting lineup
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale will start Wednesday's game against the Clippers. O'Neale will surprisingly replace Grayson Allen in the starting lineup for Wednesday's tilt. With Allen still healthy, Neale likely won't see a minutes load in the mid-to-upper 30s, but he should still provide some fantasy value. In 13 starts this season, O'Neale is averaging 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.7 combined steals-plus-blocks.
Returns to bench
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Timberwolves. O'Neale is coming off a spot start, but Grayson Allen (hip) will be back in action. As a result, O'Neale will come off the bench. He is averaging 7.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 23.0 minutes as a reserve this season.
Set to start Wednesday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. O'Neale will replace Grayson Allen (hip) in the starting five Wednesday. O'Neale is averaging 9.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 32.2 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.
Available to play Thursday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale (shoulder) will be available to play Thursday against the Hawks. O'Neale will continue to power through the shoulder issue, but it did limit him to just 10 minutes his last time out, so he's a risky target in most formats.
Questionable for Thursday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/phoenix-suns-logo.png?w=150)
O'Neale is questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta due to a right shoulder contusion, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. O'Neale fell on his shoulder in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia and played just 10 minutes. While he downplayed the severity of the injury after the game, it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set.
