SEPTEMBER 30: The Suns have waived Stockton, according to NBA.com’s official transaction log. His next stop is expected to be with the Valley Suns later this fall.
SEPTEMBER 28: David Stockton has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Suns, a league source tells Keith Smith of Spotrac (Twitter link).
Phoenix’s new G League team acquired the 33-year-old point guard’s returning player rights in a trade on Friday, so the Valley Suns will likely be his next stop. If he spends at least 60 days with the G League club, he’ll be eligible for a bonus worth up to $77.5K.
Stockton has played extensively in the G League since his college career with Gonzaga ended in 2014. His NBA experience consists of three games with Sacramento during the 2014/15 season and three games with Utah in 2017/18. He has also played in Croatia, New Zealand, Germany and Puerto Rico.
Stockton’s last NBA opportunity came two years ago when he signed an offseason contract with Indiana.
The Suns had 20 players on their offseason roster, so no corresponding move was necessary to make room for Stockton.
I had some good hopes for David Stockton, but he has not become anything like the legendary basketball player his father was, and is.
Pretty hard to live up to the most assists and steals in nba history. Crazy high win percentage too. I think Malone and Stockton are the most winning duo of all time, just saying. Here I was thinking MJ only beat scrubs lol.
