DAMION LEE NEWS

Scores season-high 18 points Lee finished with 18 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and eight rebounds across 30 minutes during Sunday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Lee came off the bench, but he quickly saw an increased role with Devin Booker aggravating his groin injury just four minutes into Sunday's contest. The undrafted guard out of Louisville finished with season highs in points and rebounds while playing his most minutes since the second game of the campaign. With Booker dealing with his injury, Lee's scored at least 10 points in three of his past four appearances and has averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.0 minutes during that stretch.

Across 30 games as a reserve, Lee has averaged 8.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.0 minutes.

Ties season high with 15 points Lee finished Monday's 122-117 victory over the Kings with 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

Impact Lee came into the contest having failed to reach double-digit scoring in three straight contests, but he put an end to that streak with an efficient 15-point performance. As usual, the Louisville product did much of his work from beyond the arc, and he's now converted at least one triple in 13 straight games. Lee is actually shooting better from three-point range (48.8 percent) than from the field overall (44.9 percent) this season.

Nails four triples in loss Lee produced 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 113-112 loss to the Heat.

Impact Lee saw 22 minutes off the bench Monday, continuing what has been a noticeable uptick in playing time over the past week. He has logged in excess of 20 minutes in five of the past six games, filling some of the void left by an injury to Cameron Johnson (knee). While his overall production is limited, Lee can have some value in deeper formats for anyone in need of perimeter scoring.

Role shrinks in win Lee contributed two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 12 minutes during Sunday's 112-95 win over the Clippers.

Impact Lee sunk a game-winning jumper to lead Phoenix over Dallas on Friday, logging 31 minutes and closing the contest in place of Chris Paul. With that recent context in mind, Lee shrinking to such a small role Sunday is indicative of serious volatility. He'll next take the court Tuesday versus the Warriors.
