Suns Pick Up Jamaree Bouyea's Team Option

Overview

• The Suns picked up Jamaree Bouyea’s $2.58 million team option Monday, completing the decision just hours before the deadline.
• Bouyea earned a standard contract after a March conversion from a two-way deal and averaged 5.7 points on 45.8 percent shooting in 46 games last season.
• His best regular-season showing came in the finale when he scored 27 points and dished nine assists, but he logged meaningful minutes in only one of Phoenix’s four playoff games versus Oklahoma City.
• The move keeps a low-cost, familiar guard on the roster to protect rotation continuity after the team’s recent trade activity that sent Royce O’Neale and Grayson Allen to Charlotte.
• By locking in Bouyea, Phoenix preserves short-term depth and salary flexibility heading into free agency, a development that could influence whether the team pursues external upgrades or leans on internal role players.
