Team option being exercised The Suns will exercise the $2.58 million team option on Bouyea's contract for the 2026-27 season, per Michael Scotto of USA Today.

Impact Phoenix reinforces its backcourt depth behind Devin Booker and Jalen Green with the move. Bouyea averaged 5.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.0 minutes per contest through 46 games during the regular season.

Brutal blow for Jamaree Bouyea as Suns eye his replacement The Suns working out point guard Robert McCray ahead of the NBA Draft is a blow for Jamaree Bouyea's future in Phoenix.

MAY 29 • VALLEYOFTHESUNS.COM

Plays limited role in 2025-26 Bouyea recorded two points (1-1 FG) in one minute during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Impact After opening the year under a two-way pact, Bouyea later signed a one-year contract with the Suns in March. The deal included a $2.58 million team option for 2026-27, which Phoenix will presumably pick up this offseason in order to fortify its backcourt depth. Bouyea averaged 5.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.0 minutes per contest through 46 games during the regular season.

Not starting Tuesday Bouyea won't start Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Bouyea got the starting nod in Sunday's regular-season finale, though he'll slide to the second unit Tuesday. With the Suns almost at full strength, the 26-year-old isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn.

Paces Phoenix in win Bouyea notched 27 points (12-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 win over the Thunder.

Impact With a slew of regulars inactive for the regular-season finale, Bouyea made his first start of the year and performed well, leading all scorers and finishing one assist shy of a double-double. It marked the guard's highest scoring output of the campaign and his 10th game in double figures. Despite the strong showing Sunday, Bouyea is unlikely to see significant playing time in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Trail Blazers or beyond if the Suns advance deeper into the postseason.

Jamaree Bouyea leads Suns reserves to 135-103 win over Thunder in meaningless season finale

Starting against Thunder Bouyea will start in Sunday's game against Oklahoma City, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports,

Impact Bouyea will make his first start of the 2025-26 campaign. The 26-year-old is coming off a four-point, three-assist, two-rebound performance in Friday's 101-73 loss to the Lakers. However, he will have an opportunity to be more productive with the Suns down Devin Booker (ankle), Dillon Brooks (foot), Collin Gillespie (shoulder) and Jalen Green (knee).

No minutes in loss Bouyea (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Tuesday in the Suns' 115-111 loss to the Magic.

Impact Bouyea had received playing time in each of the Suns' previous seven games, though some of those appearances had come in garbage time at the tail end of blowouts. With the Suns getting two key contributors back from injury Tuesday in Dillon Brooks (hand) and Grayson Allen (knee), Bouyea ended up falling out of the rotation.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sees garbage-time action Bouyea finished with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Sunday's contest got out of hand relatively quickly, allowing Bouyea to log his most minutes since Feb. 24. It was the first time the guard played double-digit minutes since the beginning of March as well, suggesting Bouyea is not a significant part of the rotation for now.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Odd man out in Booker's return Bouyea (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Kings.

Impact Bouyea had appeared in each of the Suns' previous six games and averaged 5.3 points, 2.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 16.8 minutes per contest over that stretch, but he exited the rotation Tuesday with Phoenix welcoming Devin Booker (hip) back into the fray. Though Bouyea received some added security by Phoenix converting him from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract earlier this week, he'll likely find minutes hard to come by when all of Booker, Collin Gillespie, Jalen Green and Grayson Allen are available.

Earns standard deal The Suns signed Bouyea to a standard two-year contract Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Bouyea was previously on a two-way deal for the Suns, but he stepped into a larger role due to several injuries in the backcourt. Across 33 appearances this season, the guard has averaged 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 15.5 minutes per contest.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Opportunity for larger role Bouyea amassed eight points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Just about every member of the Suns' backcourt besides Collin Gillespie is either out with an injury or working their way back from one, leaving the door open for Bouyea to stay more involved. Bouyea has logged at least 20 minutes in just half of his last six appearances, but his playing time looks like it's about to pick up, particularly with Devin Booker (hip) and Jordan Goodwin (calf) out until March.

Suns may have already found next year's Collin Gillespie Jamaree Bouyea is on his way to being the next Collin Gillespie for the Suns, a two-way contract star.

FEBRUARY 21 • VALLEYOFTHESUNS.COM

Team-high six dimes off bench Bouyea registered 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 loss to the Thunder.

Impact With each of Devin Booker (ankle), Jalen Green (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (knee) out, Bouyea saw some extra run off the bench during the rout. That said, Bouyea has averaged a mere 5.2 points, 2.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per tilt in his last nine games and may not be much of a fantasy factor if Phoenix is healthier when play resumes next week.

Jamaree Bouyea the biggest winner of Suns' trade deadline moves The Suns made a trade to save money, and likely convert Jamaree Bouyea to a full-time contract in the process.

Upgraded to available Bouyea (concussion) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Bouyea is returning to the floor after missing Phoenix's last seven games with a concussion. Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin could see a slight decrease in minutes in the backcourt Monday, though that may hinge upon the availability of both Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring).
