1:55 PM: Phoenix will sign Millsap to a multiyear contract, according to the team’s website.
12:52 PM: The Suns will sign Elijah Millsap for the rest of the season, tweets Shams Charania of The Vertical.
The 28-year-old shooting guard spent this season with the Northern Arizona Suns in the D-League, averaging 19.8 points per night in 50 games. He has previous NBA experience with the Jazz, spending parts of the 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons in Utah. Millsap, the younger brother of the Hawks’ Paul Millsap, played in Israel and the Philippines after being waived in January of 2016.
The Suns have been carrying an open roster spot since the trade deadline, so they won’t have to make a corresponding move to add Millsap.
Good move. Welcome Paul. Now you can play with your brother. New era begins next year..
