Suns Recap and News

Dunn amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Despite opening the year in a starting role, the second-year forward was unable to hold down a spot in the Phoenix first unit this year. Dunn averaged 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.4 minutes per game over 70 appearances (16 starts) during the regular season.

Coffey provided no counting stats in one minute during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Coffey, an impending unrestricted free agent, failed to make much of an impact with Phoenix following a trade from the Bucks at the February deadline. Over 16 regular-season games for the Suns, Coffey averaged 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.1 minutes per tilt.

Bouyea recorded two points (1-1 FG) in one minute during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

After opening the year under a two-way pact, Bouyea later signed a one-year contract with the Suns in March. The deal includes a $2.58 million team option for 2026-27, which Phoenix could pick up this offseason in order to fortify its backcourt depth. Bouyea averaged 5.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.0 minutes per contest through 46 games during the regular season.

Maluach chipped in two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds across five minutes during Monday’s 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

The rookie first-rounder struggled to earn consistent playing time in 2025-26, finishing with averages of 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 8.9 minutes per tilt across 46 regular-season games. Barring the Suns losing Mark Williams (foot) in restricted free agency, Maluach might have a hard time cracking Phoenix’s Opening Night rotation in 2026-27 with Oso Ighodaro also in the picture.

Fleming finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one block and two steals over nine minutes during Monday’s 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

The 2025 second-rounder made a lone start during his rookie campaign, closing with averages of 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 steals in 12.2 minutes per tilt through 55 regular-season games. If the Suns are unable to retain Collin Gillespie this summer, Fleming would have an opportunity to claim a more prominent role in 2026-27.
