The Suns won’t be exercising Frank Kaminsky‘s team option for the 2020/21 season, making him an unrestricted free agent, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link). The option would have been worth $5MM.

Kaminsky, 27, averaged 9.7 PPG and 4.5 RPG on .450/.331/.678 shooting in 39 games (19.9 MPG) for Phoenix in 2019/20. A patella stress fracture shortened his season, however, and he played a very limited role during the Suns’ 8-0 run in the bubble at Walt Disney World.
Plugged-in Suns reporter John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 predicted earlier this week that the team would likely prioritize re-signing Dario Saric in free agency while letting other bigs like Aron Baynes and Kaminsky walk.
Kaminsky will now be free to reach a deal with any team once the free agent period opens on Friday.
Bring back baynes dude was part of there success although he faded down the stretch
Hard to believe he was a lottery pick.
There’s been worse than him….much worse.
MJ believed in him. :D
They will be saying the same thing about James Wiseman in a few years.
Baynes better go to SF
Rockets will probably get Kaminsky…
Come home to the Bucks baby
Sixers could really use him to back up Embiid/Harris
