The Phoenix Suns are set to re-sign forward Royce O’Neale to a four-year, $44-million contract, ESPN reported Saturday.
O’Neale, 31, was acquired by the Suns at February’s trade deadline from the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team deal that also included the Memphis Grizzlies. In 30 games (eight starts) with Phoenix, he averaged 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
In seven NBA seasons, O’Neale has averaged 6.8 points with 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists after he went undrafted out of Baylor. He played his first five seasons with the Utah Jazz, starting in 2017-18.
