Overview
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the move as a promotion from Bouyea’s two-way contract to a standard two-year agreement.
- Bouyea, 26, has appeared in 33 games for Phoenix this season, averaging 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and roughly 1.8–1.9 assists in 15.5 minutes.
- The roster spot opened when the Suns waived Cole Anthony after acquiring him at the deadline; he did not report to the team.
- Suns coach Jordan Ott highlighted Bouyea’s ability to break the paint and his “real speed,” reinforcing his fit as a change-of-pace guard and on-ball defender.
- Bouyea’s G League output has included 20.2 points per game this season, and Phoenix now has a two-way slot to fill by Wednesday with Koby Brea and Isaiah Livers in the other two-way spots.
