Damion Lee News
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Damion Lee (knee) won't take the floor Wednesday versus Cleveland. The 31-year-old has yet to play this regular season as he has been recovering from right-knee surgery, and it is unclear if he will suit up before the end of the year. Lee played in 74 regular-season contests last year, averaging 20.4 minutes, 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Damion Lee has suffered a right knee meniscus injury and will be out "until further notice," the team has announced. According to the Suns, the injury occurred during an on-court workout at the team's practice facility last week. Lee was one of the first guys off the bench last season and averaged 8.2 points on 45.5 percent three-point shooting during his debut campaign in Arizona. Phoenix's depth takes a hit with his absence, but guys like Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen should be able to cover for him.
Phoenix Suns guard Damion Lee will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Suns are thin at guard with Chris Paul (hip) and Landry Shamet (foot) both sidelined. That being said, Lee is well worth considering as a streaming option in deep leagues. He should see plenty of action with the Suns banged up at the moment. It's also worth noting that Cameron Johnson (knee) is making his return to the court. However, he'll come off the bench, while Torrey Craig remains in the starting five for Thursday's game. The Suns are likely to have Johnson on a minutes limit, so he won't be a reliable streaming option right now.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Damion Lee led the team with a career-high 31 points in Friday's 121-116 loss to Minnesota. He provided microwave scoring off the bench in 31 minutes, shooting 10-for-17 from the field and a spectacular 6-for-7 from downtown. Lee capped off his career night with six rebounds and two assists. The 30-year-old is greatly benefiting from multiple injuries at present and has proven to be one of the better scorers in the current lineup. Duane Washington Jr. has also been one of the beneficiaries, but he settled for just eight points as a starter on Friday. The Suns will now be off until Monday, which will give the injured troops some time to heal, but Lee and Washington Jr. could continue to benefit next week if the lineup remains thin.
