Top Damion Lee News

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Active Wednesday

    Lee (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's season opener versus the Clippers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

    Lee and Grayson Allen (Achilles) have both been cleared for action Wednesday, bringing Phoenix's backcourt to full strength with the exception of Josh Okogie (hamstring). Lee will suit up for the first time since May 11 of 2023 after missing all of last season due to meniscus complications.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Probable for Wednesday

    Lee (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Clippers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Lee is expected to be ready for the regular season after dealing with hamstring soreness to end the preseason. After missing all of last season due to meniscus surgery, Lee is looking to reclaim the reserve role he held in 2022-23, when he averaged 20.4 minutes per game across 74 regular-season appearances (five starts) for the Suns.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Nursing hamstring injury

    Head coach Mike Budenholzer said Monday that Lee is dealing with a hamstring issue but is close to returning, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Lee was held out of the Suns' preseason finale against the Lakers on Thursday. He was able to get in some 5-on-5 reps during Monday's practice, but it's unclear whether he'll be available for the Suns' regular-season opener against the Clippers on Sunday. Lee missed the entire 2023-24 campaign while recovering from meniscus surgery, and he's expected to come off the bench to provide depth on the wing.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Plays six minutes off bench Friday

    Lee (groin) played six minutes off the bench in Friday's 109-91 preseason loss to the Pistons. He finished scoreless (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt).

    Lee didn't make an impact in this game, but he saw the court, meaning the groin injury he was dealing with was nothing major. Lee is competing for a bench role on the 2024-25 regular-season roster.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Headed to locker room

    Lee went to the locker room with 8:49 remaining in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons after taking a hit to the groin/leg area, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    With Tuesday's contest almost over, it seems unlikely Lee will check back in. As things stand, he is set to finish with one rebound and one steal in five minutes of action. Lee's next chance to suit up is Friday's preseason rematch with Detroit.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Fully available for start of camp

    Lee (knee) said Monday that he will be fully available for Tuesday's practice session, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Lee missed the entire 2023-24 campaign due to meniscus surgery but rejoined the Suns on a one-year deal in early July. The 31-year-old carved out a decent role during his first year with Phoenix in 2022-23, averaging 8.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 20.4 minutes per game. Assuming he doesn't face any setbacks during camp, it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn a role in the rotation once again this year.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Staying in Phoenix

    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 regular-season appearances. Lee is expected to be fully healthy ahead of training camp.

  • Damion Lee: Will test free agency

    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 final, 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 long range. The six-year NBA veteran made a career-high 44.5 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Remains out to start postseason

    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.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Hopes to return in postseason

    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 while he completes his recovery from the surgery he underwent in October to repair a torn meniscus. Though he appears to be close to a return and may make it back for the playoffs, Lee isn't a sure bet to factor into Phoenix's rotation, given his long layoff along with the fact that he was only a minor contributor off the Suns bench when he was healthy in 2022-23.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Another absence coming

    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 regular season.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Still out

    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.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Remains out against OKC

    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.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Remains out indefinitely

    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.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Still not working out on court

    Head coach Frank Vogel said Monday that Lee (knee) has yet to resume on-court work, but the Suns remain hopeful that the 31-year-old will play before the end of the regular season, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. "On track," Vogel said, in reference to Lee's recovery from the meniscus surgery he underwent in October. "Hopefully at some point towards the end of the regular season we can start talking about where he's at in terms of getting back on the floor."

    The Suns aren't putting an official timeline on Lee making his 2023-24 season, but based on Vogel's comments, the veteran wing isn't on track to be available coming out of the All-Star break, and a mid-to-late March or early April return may be a more realistic target at this point. If Phoenix isn't dealing with any injuries to their other key guards or wings by the time Lee is ready to play, he'll likely find himself on the outside looking in for a rotation spot. In his first season with Phoenix in 2022-23, Lee appeared in 74 contests and averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.4 assists in 20.4 minutes per game.

  • Suns' Damion Lee: Still far from return

    Lee (knee) is still a "ways away" from returning but hopes to see action before the end of the regular season, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Lee has yet to take the court this season as he continues to recover from a right knee surgery he underwent in September. The 31-year-old guard is still waiting to resume on-court activities and seems a few months away from being able to see game action.
