Damion Lee

Damion Lee missed the entire 2023-24 season as he dealt with a meniscus injury that required surgery. A season ago, he was a decent contributor, averaging 8.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists. He also appeared in 74 games, showing his willingness to play for the Suns.

With the team's All-Star trio, it could be difficult for Lee and the other players to adjust once he's back. He hasn't played in over a year and his inclusion in the team could be a demanding transition. Other players like Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale have also emerged as key role players, leaving little room for the former Golden State Warrior to fit in.

There's also the fact that Phoenix has loads of wing players, including the stars.

His championship experience is crucial to the team. However, he won't provide a ton on the court, which is what the team might demand from him. Like Bol, Lee won't be eligible for a trade until October as he re-signed with the Suns. When the right time comes, the front office should steadily consider his future with the team.
