Collin Gillespie News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Ruled out for Tuesday Gillespie (ankle) underwent an MRI on Monday and is out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Gillespie tweaked his ankle during Friday night's G League action, and the team has since elected to send him for further testing. The medical staff has yet to receive Gillespie's MRI results, but the injury is significant enough to rule him out for Tuesday's matchup. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Won't be available Sunday Gillespie (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Sacramento.

Joins Suns on two-way deal Gillespie signed a two-way deal with the Suns on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact 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 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 De...

Impact 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.

Logs 21 minutes in victory 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.

Impact 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.

Jamal Murray close to returning from hamstring injury, will join Nuggets on 5-game trip

Logs two steals off bench Gillespie finished with six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Gillespie was on the fringes of Denver's rotation over the first six games of the season, as he totaled just seven minutes of playing time over two appearances during that span. However, he's now played double-digit minutes in four consecutive matchups with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, averaging 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.3 minutes per game. While Gillespie's overall impact has still been limited, he's racked up multiple steals on two occasions. Murray will likely miss the rest of the month due to his injury, but Gillespie is unlikely to have much fantasy upside as long as the rest of the team stays relatively healthy.

Impact Gillespie missed the entirety of his rookie season due to a broken leg, but he finally got on the scoreboard in his third appearance of year two. Jamal Murray (hamstring) exited Saturday's game early, but Gillespie is unlikely to rise to fantasy relevance even if Murray misses time.

Gets another two-way deal Gillespie will be under a two-way contract with the Nuggets in 2023-24, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Gillespie missed all of his rookie season due to a gruesome leg injury, but he's back to full strength during Summer League, averaging 7.8 points and 4.6 assists in 29.7 minutes across five appearances. The second-year guard out of Villanova joins Jay Huff and Braxton Key as Denver's two-way players, but all three will presumably spend most of next season in the G League.
