Suns Summer Recap and news

Maluach tallied 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Wednesday’s 100-88 Summer League win over the Pistons.

Maluach led his team with 23 points and pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds as part of a winning effort. The second-year center has impressed throughout the Las Vegas Summer League, scoring at least 15 points in all four appearances while recording a double-double in three straight contests. The Duke product played sparingly at the NBA level during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances (one start).

Fleming finished Wednesday’s 100-88 Summer League win over the Pistons with 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes.

Fleming scored 17 of his 22 points in the first half of Wednesday’s win and finished as the Suns‘ second-leading scorer behind Khaman Maluach (23 points). Fleming averaged 12.2 minutes per game across 55 regular-season contests in 2025-26, and he’ll use the Summer League and training camp to audition for a larger and more consistent role in the Suns’ rotation for the upcoming campaign.

Huntley (hamstring) is out for Wednesday’s Summer League game against the Pistons, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

Huntley is sidelined for a second straight contest with a right hamstring injury. The Suns are likely to exercise caution during exhibition action with Huntley, who’s under a two-way contract with Phoenix.

Maluach finished with 21 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks across 27 minutes in Monday’s 95-88 Summer League win over the Bucks.

Maluach had another dominant performance Monday, recording his third double-double in as many games. The 2025 No. 10 overall pick out of Duke appeared in 46 regular-season games for the Suns during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.1 steals over 8.9 minutes. Maluach is still young, so he has more work to do to develop his game. However, with Mark Williams having trouble staying healthy over the years, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Maluach make some starts in 2026-27. Even if he doesn’t, it’s still reasonable to believe he will be more productive than he was during his inaugural season.

Peat looked good in his previous two Las Vegas Summer League games, though he looked even better Monday, finishing two points behind Khaman Maluach, who had a team-high 21. The 19-year-old Peat was selected with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after spending his only collegiate season at Arizona. In 36 appearances with the Wildcats in 2025-26, including five NCAA Tournament games, he averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 steals over 27.8 minutes. Peat has a high ceiling, but he may not see consistent action for the Suns during the 2026-27 campaign, barring injuries.
