Collin Gillespie News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Makes impact in limited run Gillespie ended Tuesday's 119-117 victory over the Clippers with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes.

Impact Gillespie, who has hardly played for the Suns in recent games, stepped up in a big way after Bradley Beal left the game for good with ankle soreness. The Suns are 29-33 and could be in need of a spark, so Gillespie will be a name to monitor in very deep formats if Beal ends up missing time and if coach Mike Budenholzer gives him another shot.

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.
