Records double figures in defeat Dunn closed with 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Dunn provided a spark offensively to a Phoenix squad that was searching for a third contributor behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, ending as one of four Suns players in double figures in scoring in a losing effort. Dunn has posted a double-digit point total in 10 contests this season, doing so in three straight appearances.

Scores 11 points in win Dunn finished Sunday's 120-113 win over the Hornets with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact Dunn has started in each of the Suns' last six games, with the team going 4-2 in those contests. This was the fourth time he scored in double digits during that six-game stretch, and the rookie out of Virginia has found a way to produce on both ends of the court when given extended minutes. He's averaging 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and a combined 1.3 steals-plus-blocks across 18 starts in 2024-25.

Hits for 15 in Monday's start Dunn finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Monday's 109-99 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Making his fifth start in the last six games, Dunn produced solid numbers in a complementary role. The three made three-pointers were his highest total since Oct. 31, and the rookie forward may have earned a regular spot in the starting five, as Bradley Beal was shifted to the bench Monday. Over his last seven games, Dunn is averaging 9.4 points, 4.7 boards, 1.4 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.1 blocks in 27.1 minutes a contest.

Expected to start Dunn is expected to start in place of Bradley Beal against the 76ers on Monday, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact The Suns are seemingly shaking things up amid a four-game skid, moving Dunn into a starting role with Bradley Beal being slotted to the bench. Dunn is no stranger to the starting lineup, however, as he has logged 13 starts this season including four in the last five games. In his last four starts Dunn averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 24.5 minutes per contest.

Moves into starting five Dunn will start Saturday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Tyus Jones (illness) is on the shelf for Saturday's game, so Devin Booker and Bradley Beal will hold down the fort in the backcourt with Dunn getting the nod on the wings. In 12 starts this season, Dunn holds averages of 8.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 23.3 minutes.

Returning to bench Dunn isn't starting Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Dunn will retreat to the bench following the return of Devin Booker from a groin injury. The Virginia product is averaging 5.8 points and 1.8 rebounds over 16.8 minutes in his last five appearances as a reserve.

Starting Wednesday Dunn is in the Suns' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact With Devin Booker (groin) out for another game, the Suns needed a temporary replacement for their starting lineup. With Grayson Allen (concussion) also out and instead of Royce O'Neale, the Suns will have Dunn part of their starting five for Christmas night. As a rookie starter, Dunn is averaging 8.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 23.3 minutes of play.

Limited production off bench Dunn produced five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Monday's 117-90 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Dunn saw a sizable workload Monday, but didn't make a big dent on the stat sheet despite the absence of Devin Booker (groin). The rookie forward has had a quiet December, posting averages of 5.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 three-pointers in 16.0 minutes across six appearances.

Delivers point per minute in return Dunn (ankle) scored 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added two blocks, one steal and one rebound across 13 minutes Friday in the Suns' 134-126 win over the Jazz.

Impact The Suns were without Bradley Beal (knee) on Friday, but the team was otherwise back to full strength with Dunn, Kevin Durant (ankle) and Jusuf Nurkic (thigh) returning from three-, three- and five-game absences, respectively. While Dunn delivered strong numbers during his time on the court, he likely won't see his minutes climb much further now that Durant is back in the fold. Dunn's output on the defensive end (0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks in 17.6 minutes per game this season) was fully expected after he shined on that end of the court during his collegiate career at Virginia, but the rookie's development as a perimeter shooter has been a more unexpected surprise. He's knocking down 1.2 three-pointers per game at a 32.4 percent clip for Phoenix after going 12-for-51 from distance (23.5 percent) over his two seasons in college.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Dunn (ankle) has been cleared for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Dunn will return to action after missing his squad's last three games due to a left ankle injury. He should see his usual workload off the bench given Kevin Durant's (ankle) likely return Friday.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Sunday Dunn (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Impact He'll miss his third consecutive game while he recovers from a sore left ankle. With Kevin Durant (ankle) also sitting out a third straight contest, Royce O'Neale will likely make another start at power forward and could be in store for a 30-plus-minute role.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Miami, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Dunn will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a left ankle injury, and his next chance to play will be Sunday against the Magic. Royce O'Neale and Oso Ighodaro will see an uptick in playing time Saturday due to the absences of Dunn and Kevin Durant (ankle).

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Saturday Dunn (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact Dunn was sidelined for Thursday's game against the Pelicans after injuring his left ankle against the Spurs on Tuesday. If Dunn is unable to play Saturday, Royce O'Neale would likely draw the start for a second straight game since Kevin Durant is sidelined due to an ankle injury.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Dunn (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact The rookie injured his left ankle in the win over the Spurs on Tuesday despite logging 12 minutes, and it seems the injury is severe enough to keep him sidelined for this contest. His next chance to play will come against the Heat on Saturday. Royce O'Neale should continue to see an uptick in minutes at forward since Kevin Durant (ankle) is also out.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Dunn (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Dunn has been downgraded from probable to questionable Thursday due to left ankle soreness. With Kevin Durant (ankle) still out, Royce O'Neale, Josh Okogie and Oso Ighodaro could be in store for increased playing time against New Orleans.

Dealing with ankle soreness Dunn is probable for Thursday's game against New Orleans due to left ankle soreness.

Slides to bench Tuesday Dunn will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact With Bradley Beal (calf) making his return to game action after a five-game absence streak, Dunn will retreat to the bench. In his last five outings (five starts), the rookie has averaged 6.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 22.8 minutes per game.

Modest production in start Dunn ended Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to the Kings with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact Dunn returned to action following a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, and with Kevin Durant (ankle) sidelined, the rookie was thrust into a starting role. However, Dunn failed to capitalize on his third career start, as Royce O'Neale (28) and Grayson Allen (27) played more minutes off the bench. Regardless, with Durant sidelined for at least a few weeks, Dunn should maintain an increased role even if he moves to the bench, especially if Bradley Beal (knee) is forced to miss time.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Dunn is in the Sun's starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Dunn missed Friday's game against the Mavericks due to an ankle injury.

Through eight regular-season games (including two starts), Dunn is averaging 6.8 points and 2.3 rebounds over 15.9 minutes per game.

Impact Dunn missed his first game of the season Friday due to an ankle injury but is expected to return to action against Sacramento. If Dunn is able to suit up, he should continue to be one of Phoenix's primary bench options in their forward rotation.
