JULY 2: The signing is official, according to a press release from the Suns.
JULY 1: Collin Gillespie has agreed on a two-way deal with the Suns, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.
Gillespie played for the Nuggets last season but didn’t receive a qualifying offer this past weekend, making him an unrestricted free agent. The point guard appeared in 24 games with Denver last season but only averaged 9.4 minutes in those appearances.
He also appeared in 12 total regular season and Showcase Cup games with the G League’s Grand Rapids Gold, filling the stat sheets with averages of 20.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.8 steals per contest.
After going undrafted in 2022 out of Villanova, Gillespie suffered a lower leg fracture. He still received a two-way contract from Denver that offseason and remained on its roster despite the injury. The Nuggets then retained him on a two-way deal for 2023/24.
Gillespie averaged 15.6 PPG for the Wildcats in his final college season, shooting 41.5% from three-point range.
