JULY 7: The agreement is now official, per the NBA’s transactions log.
JUNE 29: Free agent big man Bol Bol will return to the Suns on a one-year contract, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter link).
Phoenix holds Bol’s Non-Bird Rights, so he’s eligible for a new deal worth up to 20% more than the veteran’s minimum salary, though Woj’s report doesn’t specify whether that’s what his new contract will be worth.
Bol, 24, signed a one-year contract with Phoenix last July, shortly after being waived by Orlando. He appeared in 43 games, all off the bench, and averaged 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per night.
Re-signing low-salaried free agents is important to a Suns team facing limited options for filling out its roster due to second-apron restrictions. Eric Gordon, Drew Eubanks, Josh Okogie and Damion Lee have all declined their player options for next season and decided to test free agency, though one or more of them could return to Phoenix on new deals.
Why don’t you just give them the trophy
Suns won’t even play him…
