Ryan Dunn News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Holding down reserve spot Dunn supplied six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Monday's 125-114 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Dunn appears to have beaten out the likes of Haywood Highsmith, Rasheer Fleming and Koa Peat for a rotation spot with the Suns. However, Dunn's fantasy appeal is likely to remain limited while the team's wings and forwards are healthy.

Headed to bench Dunn will come off the bench in Friday's preseason finale versus Utah, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Miles Bridges (ankle) is back and starting following a two-game layoff, so Dunn will head back to the second unit. As a reserve this preseason, Dunn is averaging 3.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 19.6 minutes per game.

Perfect from field Wednesday Dunn registered 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 23 minutes during the Suns' 123-103 preseason loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.

Impact Dunn got the start Wednesday while the Suns rested all of their projected starters, and the third-year pro stepped up by co-leading the team in both points and blocks. He averaged 19.4 minutes per game off the bench during the 2025-26 regular season, though Dunn played less than 10 minutes in five of the Suns' six playoff games. He figures to be the most likely candidate to enter Phoenix's starting five if Miles Bridges (ankle) were to miss time.

Starting Saturday Dunn will start in Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Dunn is getting the start with Miles Bridges (ankle) unavailable for Saturday's exhibition. As a starter last season, Dunn averaged 9.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 steals per game.

Solid defensive production Dunn recorded four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 preseason loss to Chicago.

Impact Dunn made his presence felt defensively, leading Phoenix's reserves in playing time while contributing across several statistical categories. His defensive versatility could help him secure a consistent rotation role, though limited offensive production may restrict his fantasy upside.

Lined up for bench role next year Brooks could be restricted to a reserve role next year after Phoenix acquired Miles Bridges from Charlotte this summer.

Impact The Suns may have lost Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale this offseason, but they signed sharpshooter Luke Kennard in addition to receiving Bridges in the trade from the Hornets. Dunn opened 2025-26 as a starter before being phased out of Phoenix's rotation entirely during the playoffs, ultimately averaging a pedestrian 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.4 minutes per game over 70 appearances (16 starts) during the regular season. Dunn figures to be battling for a bench role with the likes of Jordan Goodwin, Haywood Highsmith, Rasheer Fleming and perhaps even rookie first-rounder Koa Peat at training camp this fall.
