Collin Gillespie Fantasy Stats

Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie (hand) will return to action on Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. He has shaken off a right-hand sprain, which kept Gillespie out on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Gillespie's return will be huge for a Suns backcourt that's without Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring). On Thursday, Gillespie faces a difficult matchup against the NBA's second-best defense, but he has been among Phoenix's best performers all season. In January, the Villanova product has posted 11.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.

Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie (hand) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. He was added late to the injury report due to a hand injury, and the Suns have downgraded Gillespie's status from questionable to out. The Villanova product joins Jalen Green (hamstring) and Devin Booker (ankle) on the sidelines, leaving Phoenix with very few offensive options. Grayson Allen, Dillon Brooks, and Jordan Goodwin are all set for larger roles in the attack, and Jamaree Bouyea could see a significant bump in playing time with the backcourt absentees.

Denver Nuggets point guard Collin Gillespie recorded an impressive all-around showing in Friday's Summer League loss to the Timberwolves. Tying for the team high with 30 minutes played, Gillespie did not record a turnover and compiled 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. Another point guard to come from the Villanova ranks, Gillespie is looking to crack a substantial Denver backcourt mix, which is set to be spearheaded by the returning Jamal Murray. A three-time All-Big East selection and NCAA champion in college, the undrafted 23-year-old would stand to be a solid provider of assists should he garner meaningful minutes during the regular season.
