Damion Lee agreed to a one-year deal to return to Phoenix. The former Louisville Cardinal appeared in 74 games for the Suns in 2022-23, averaging 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. However, he missed all of last season after tearing the meniscus in his right knee, resulting in surgery. Phoenix is strapped for cash, so bringing Lee back makes sense from a fiscal standpoint. But even if the 31-year-old stays healthy in 2024-25, he's not expected to be a coveted fantasy commodity anytime soon.

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.

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.

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.
