Minus owner Sarver, Suns return for another run at NBA title

The Phoenix Suns are bringing back most of their star players in an effort to win an elusive NBA title

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • Associated Press

Inks two-way with Phoenix Washington and the Suns agreed to a two-way contract Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Washington went undrafted in 2021 and spent most of last season on a two-way deal with the Pacers. He saw plenty of action in the NBA. He appeared in 48 games (seven starts) and averaged 9.9 points on 41/38/75 shooting, 1.8 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 20.2 minutes. He'll struggle to find that much playing time with the Suns, and he'll presumably spend significant time in the G League.

Huge bench contribution Washington contributed 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3PT) and one steal in Sunday's 134-126 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Washington kept a consistent role in Indiana's offense this season. The rookie saw around 20 minutes of action per game but reached double-digit points in 14 of his final 18 performances. The Ohio State product tallied his fifth-highest scoring output in Indiana's regular season finale.

Impact T.J. McConnell moved into the starting lineup Saturday, but Washington saw just as big a workload off the bench while scoring in double digits for the third straight game. Expect the rookie to have a significant role in the backcourt again Sunday in the Pacers' season finale against the Nets.

Signs multi-year deal with Indiana The Pacers converted Washington's two-way contract to a multi-year deal Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Washington is averaging 9.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 20.1 minutes across 46 appearances for the Pacers this season. The undrafted rookie out of Ohio State figures to provide backcourt depth behind Malcolm Brogdon and Tyrese Haliburton during the 2022-23 campaign.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Underwhelming off bench Washington had 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-117 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Washington snapped a three-game skid in which he failed to log double-digit scoring. Leading the Pacers bench in minutes played and shots attempted, Washington has been a firm member of the rotation throughout the season. However, he grades as a negative contributor on both ends of the floor -- signifying room to growth for the rookie.

Good to go Wednesday Washington (hip) will play Wednesday against the Nuggets, James Boyd of the Indy Star reports.

Over his last 10 appearances, Washington is averaging 13.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.3 threes per game.

Listed as questionable Monday Washington (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta, James Boyd of the Indy Star reports.

Impact A sore hip landed Washington on the sidelines for Saturday's loss to the Raptors, and the Pacers will wait to see how he feels Monday before reevaluating his status. The undrafted Ohio State product has carved out a solid role off the bench over the second half of the season, taking advantage of both Malcolm Brogdon (rest) and Chris Duarte (toe) -- as well as T.J. McConnell (wrist) -- missing extensive time due to injuries and rest.

Questionable Saturday Washington is questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors due to a right hip bruise.

Impact Washington has played at least 20 minutes in each of the last four games, but he's now dealing with a hip issue. If the 22-year-old is unavailable Saturday, Buddy Hield and Lance Stephenson should see additional run.
