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.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Dunn logged 12 minutes in Tuesday's victory over San Antonio without picking up an injury designation, but the rookie's status will need to be monitored. He remains on track to play.

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.

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Available Sunday Dunn (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact As expected, Dunn will return to action Sunday after missing his first game of the season Friday due to an ankle injury. The rookie's playing time and production has been sporadic, but he's averaged 6.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.8 minutes over eight appearances (two starts).

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.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.

Impact The 21-year-old was considered doubtful for Friday's contest after suffering an ankle sprain Wednesday against Miami, so it's not a surprise he won't be available in Dallas. Dunn's next chance to take the court will come Sunday versus the Kings.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Friday Dunn (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Mavericks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Dunn sprained his left ankle during Wednesday's win over Miami and is not likely to suit up against Dallas on Friday. While the rookie made the trip to Dallas, there is a good chance he misses his first game of the season. Dunn has provided solid two-way play for the Suns thus far, and he has averaged 6.8 points and 2.3 rebounds across 15.9 minutes per game in eight regular-season outings (two starts).

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Dunn limped back to the locker room late in Wednesday's contest and did not return. While he's set to undergo further testing Thursday, he received an initial diagnosis of a sprained left ankle. The 21-year-old rookie has been a quality addition to the Suns rotation, and he's shooting 13-for-33 (39.4 percent) from three-point range after being considered a non-shooter in college. If he's forced to miss time, expect Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen to pick up the slack. Dunn's next chance to play comes Friday at Dallas.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes to locker room Dunn limped back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Heat for undisclosed reasons, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when Dunn suffered the injury, but it forced him back to the locker room. While he's idle, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen could see more minutes.

Back to bench Saturday Dunn is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Portland.

Impact Dunn was in the starting five against the Clippers on Thursday, and he finished with 16 points, four rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes. He'll retreat to the bench for Saturday's game as Bradley Beal (elbow) returns.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in with 16 points Dunn amassed 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Beal (elbow) sat out to rest his elbow, giving Dunn his second start of the season.The Virginia product was expected to be more of a development player, but he's already making an impact, especially on defense. He's versatile enough to fill in at multiple positions, and his 6-6 frame is deceiving thanks to a huge wingspan. Dunn's results are bad news for those who drafted Grayson Allen, as his role will be compromised if Dunn sees steady improvement.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Dunn is starting Thursday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Dunn will draw the start at small forward in place of Bradley Beal, who was ruled out with sprained left elbow. Dunn put together a decent performance in his first career NBA start Saturday against the Mavs, recording 13 points, one rebound and one assist in 21 minutes.
