The Phoenix Suns have reached an agreement on a deal with guard Collin Gillespie, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. The deal was finalized after negotiations between Suns executives and Gillespie’s agents at Excel Sports Management, Jordan Gertler and James Dunleavy.
The sides came together on the agreement shortly after NBA teams became eligible to speak with free agents. Gillespie, who previously played for the Denver Nuggets, has established himself as a reliable guard option after a decorated collegiate career at Villanova. He joins a Suns roster looking to bolster its backcourt depth and perimeter shooting for the upcoming season.
A former two-time Big East Player of the Year, Gillespie has emerged as a significant rotational prospect in the league. After missing his initial rookie season due to injury, he showed flashes of playmaking and high-level basketball IQ during his time in the Nuggets system. By securing Gillespie, the Suns add a steady hand to their bench unit as they continue to shape their roster around their core stars.
