“Phoenix Suns bring back former player”

PHOENIX – According to Gerald Bourguet of PHNX, the Phoenix Suns are inviting Frank Kaminsky to their 2024 training camp.

Kaminsky – 31 – first entered the league as the ninth overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft after a successful college career at Wisconsin.

Kaminsky spent the early part of his career with the Charlotte Hornets before signing a two-year, $10 million contract with the Suns.

After his contract was initially voided in 2020, the Suns brought him back before their famous run to the 2021 NBA Finals.

The following season, Kaminsky signed a one-year contract to remain with Phoenix, but suffered a knee injury in late November that ultimately caused him to miss the remainder of the season.

Since then, Kaminsky has played for the Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets while also playing in the EuroLeague.

The Suns have centers in Bol Bol, Oso Ighodaro, Jusuf Nurkic and Mason Plumlee and forwards in Jalen Bridges, Ryan Dunn, Kevin Durant, Royce O’Neale and Josh Okogie.

After winning 49 games last season, the Suns lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

This led to some changes in Phoenix, such as adding a “real” point guard in Tyus Jones and swapping head coach Frank Vogel for Mike Budenholzer.

Kaminsky has averaged 8.8 points on 43% shooting, along with 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists for his career.

The Suns begin training camp next Tuesday after hosting their media day on Monday, September 30th.
