He recently covered the Phoenix Mercury for The Next Hoops and PHNX Sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-damion-lee-meniscus-injury-training-camp">Damion Lee dealt with a meniscus injury</a> that sidelined him for the entirety of last season, the Phoenix Suns guard <a href="https://x.com/DuaneRankin/status/1841994080848646489" rel="noopener">revealed his status</a> entering the new season.<br><br>“I had like two dunks today and guys were like, ‘Oh man, might need to stop practice. D-Lee just dunked. What’s happening?” Lee said to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. </p><p>The Suns missed Lee on the floor for a tumultuous 2023-24 season. The sharpshooting guard <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/leeda03.html" rel="noopener">shot a career-high 44.5% from beyond</a> and was a pivotal piece. He consistently spaced the floor, which was especially helpful when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kevin-durant-traded-by-brooklyn-to-suns">Suns traded for Kevin Durant</a> halfway through that season.</p><p>Even though Lee missed all of last season, his presence was still felt. He consistently cheered on his teammates, offered input on plays, and encouraged players when they were down. After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-frank-vogel-fired-disappointing-playoff-exit-vs-timberwolves">the Suns fired Frank Vogel</a>, they hired Mike Budenholzer. He implements a system that encourages spacing and ball movement. Both of which are in Lee’s repertoire.</p><h2><b>How can Damion Lee help the Suns once he’s healthy?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Damion-Lee-gives-update-about-his-injury-with-the-Suns.jpg"><figcaption>© Winslow Townson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Lee started in five games with the Suns, while he played in 75 games. He also had <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/leeda03/gamelog/2023" rel="noopener">13 games with at least three or more three-pointers</a>. It’s important to know that he only played in just over 20 minutes per game. Once the 2022-23 season ended, Lee’s contract expired and he had the chance to hit the open market.</p><p>However, he remained loyal to the Suns and chose to stay. His return solidified the Suns’ bench depth and could’ve proven lethal with Eric Gordon also coming off the bench. When Lee was injured, it delivered a gut punch to Phoenix. They were without a premier shooter who could space the floor but provide veteran leadership.</p><p>Lee is related to Stephen Curry and has some of his leadership. After all, the two played together for four seasons before he traded colors and signed with the Suns. Although the Suns made some moves to bolster their bench, they didn’t forget about Lee. He’ll fit right in with Monte Morris, Mason Plumlee, Bol Bol, and Grayson Allen. That unit can provide size, versatility, and arguably the most important of all, three-point shooting.</p><p>As Phoenix travels and takes on the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, it’ll be worth noting if Lee receives any playing time. Although he might show some rust, this is the perfect time to let him play and get back into game shape. His game will blend in nicely with the newly revamped Suns squad.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was not highly-relied on in the latter part of the 2022-23 season, but he has traits the Suns will need to win a championship this season.</p><p>Lee, who was an NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors in 2021-22, has experience from that run the Suns can rely on. He was often one of the biggest supporters on the team’s bench this past season and said at the end of the year he would love to be back in Phoenix.</p><p>Amid a roster overhaul, the Suns kept Lee, who last season was the third-best 3-point shooter in the NBA by percentage (44.5). He could have been a valuable bench piece for Phoenix in the playoffs, but the team did not have a consistent rotation and Lee was not provided many opportunities to solidify himself.</p><p>That could change this season. New coach Frank Vogel has a lot of options to choose from on his bench. Lee’s continuity with the team, championship experience and shooting will be valuable for the Suns in their quest for their first-ever NBA championship.</p><p>Lee’s free agency analysis:</p><h2>Strengths</h2><p>Lee went undrafted in 2016 and has established himself since as an important role player. He earned significant playing time with the Warriors in the 2019-20 season and was valuable as a shooter and bench option for the team in its championship run.</p><p>The Suns had a deep roster in 2021-22 but lost some players, which led to their signing of Lee. He played a career-most 74 games this past season for the Suns and averaged 20.4 minutes per game.</p><p>Lee averaged 22.3 minutes per game in the Suns’ first 59 games before he averaged just 12.7 minutes per contest over his last 15 games played. His role changed once the Suns changed their roster dramatically after they traded for Kevin Durant.</p><p>In the playoffs, Lee’s role changed nearly every game. Coach Monty Williams did not play him in three games but also had him play 25 minutes in the team’s Game 2 loss to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. Lee and other Suns players, including TJ Warren and Terrence Ross, did not seem to get a fair shake from Williams in the playoffs.</p><p>The Suns used rotations in the postseason they had not used at any point during the regular season. Some of that uncertainty is from the roster shake-up, but the Suns had 25 games at the end of the regular season in which they started wing Josh Okogie only to change the lineup entirely when the playoffs began.</p><p>Lee should get an opportunity to play into the rotation. Vogel is a championship coach and Lee has acknowledged his role player ability. If he can shoot the ball at a high clip, defend, communicate and help lead the Suns, he will have an opportunity to be a consistent rotation member this season.</p><h2>Development</h2><p>Damion Lee has exceeded expectations since he entered the NBA. A four-year college player, Lee is an NBA champion who has asserted himself as a valuable piece on a winning team.</p><p>His skills will be needed for the Suns in 2023-24. Lee is an excellent communicator and is vocal on the bench.</p><p>He is a player Phoenix can rely on for support. The Suns are going all-in for a championship this season, and Lee and forward Kevin Durant are the only two players on the roster with championship experience.</p><p>Lee is a tough defender and will have to show he can compete to earn more minutes. Vogel is going to rely on tough players who buy into his scheme. Lee has the personality of a champion and can solidify a role if he produces on that end.</p><p>ClutchPoints <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-free-agency-signings-grade-nba-offseason" rel="noopener">pointed out</a> the Suns have nine players on their roster who shot at least 35 percent from three this past season. Lee led the way and can stand out as a bench performer if he shoots well, competes and provides locker room leadership like he has shown.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His mom even went as far as <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexEspinozaIV/status/1635502528375971841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1635502528375971841%7Ctwgr%5E0abfe01f154f1e2a478bc30d502aff4981b1b8a9%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.audacy.com%2F957thegame%2Fsports%2Fgolden-state-warriors%2Fsonya-curry-defends-damion-lee-after-jamychal-green-tangle" rel="noopener">trade some barbs</a> with Warriors forward Draymond Green in the process.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Dunno what was happening here but Sonya Curry was super animated after that Damion Lee foul on JMG <a href="https://t.co/iaZNpMh8wm">pic.twitter.com/iaZNpMh8wm</a></p><p>— Alex Espinoza IV (@AlexEspinozaIV) <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexEspinozaIV/status/1635502528375971841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“That was like old-school AAU back in the day where parents get involved.

Just some good, fun back-and-forth.

Green and Lee got into a bit of a shoving match, with the Warriors big man butting heads with the former Warrior. On the ensuing possession, more shenanigans ensued between the two. Lee ended up crashing into Moses Moody after receiving a shove from Green, so in return, Lee gave him a retaliatory push.</p><p>Shortly thereafter, Sonya Curry had her arms up, as she made it clear that as much as she loves her son Steph’s Warriors, she prioritizes those who are part of her family.</p><p>At the end of the day, the Curry family simply couldn’t lose on the night. As one wise man said, if you play both sides, you simply can’t lose. Nevertheless, it was Steph who had the last laugh.

It was also a special occasion for Suns shooting guard Damion Lee, who marked his first return to his former stomping ground since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-devin-booker-tips-hat-to-warriors-after-damion-lee-epic-game-winner-vs-mavs" rel="noopener">taking his talents</a> to Phoenix during the offseason.</p><p>The capacity crowd cheered on Lee as he was <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1613011163004178433" rel="noopener">handed his championship ring</a> by none other than the GOAT shooter himself, Stephen Curry. It was a momentous occasion for Lee, who got a hold of his 2021-22 championship memorabilia for the first time:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Steph presented D-Lee with his championship ring 💍💙<a href="https://t.co/sGeydeKXIx">pic.twitter.com/sGeydeKXIx</a></p><p>— Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1613011163004178433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 11, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In case you forgot, Lee is Steph’s brother-in-law.

The kid is named Daxon Wardell-Xavier Lee, and he shares the Wardell name with Steph.</p><p>This may be a memorable occasion for Lee, but you can be sure that Curry and the Warriors will want to mark his return with a loss for the Suns. This is Steph’s first game back since injuring his shoulder back in mid-December and he will be out to make up for lost time.</p><p>The Suns, on the other hand, are extremely shorthanded for Tuesday’s matchup with Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton all sitting out due to injury. This should give Damion Lee more playing time, thereby allowing him to rekindle an old flame in his former stomping ground.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Damion Lee hit a <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/recap/_/gameId/401468028">tough midrange jumper</a> with 9.7 seconds left on the clock, and after Luka Doncic missed a potential game-winning three, the Suns walked away with the win despite trailing by as many as 22 points in this one. One guy who wasn’t happy with the play was Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George, as he believes that the refs missed a call on Lee’s game-winning shot.</p><p>George, who was watching the game with the Clippers not playing on Wednesday night, believed that Lee traveled in the buildup to his jumper. Lee has to collect himself on the right wing when he picks his dribble up, and it does look like both of his feet may have come off the ground as he tried to gain his balance. George clearly thought that was the case, and took to Twitter to voice his opinion on the play.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Travel 🤦🏾‍♂️</p><p>— Paul George (@Yg_Trece) <a href="https://twitter.com/Yg_Trece/status/1582954180792049664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 20, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>While George had no involvement in this game, it’s clear he’s a bit upset with the lack of a call on Lee’s shot here. Both the Suns and Mavericks figure to be contenders at the top of the Western Conference with the Clippers, so maybe he had a bit of a rooting interest for Dallas in this game. Or, maybe he simply liked watching the close contest and wanted to see more.</p><p>Whatever the case may be, the Suns aren’t going to complain, as they rallied to pick up a big win to kick off their new season. After a rocky offseason, Phoenix was able to avenge their blowout loss to Dallas in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals from last season, and it should allow them to put their best foot forward for the rest of the year. For team’s like the Clippers, that’s bad news, so maybe that’s why George was so insistent on a travel taking place on this play.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Mavs actually had control of this game in the first half, only for the Suns to mount a mind-blowing comeback after the break.</p><p>After their huge victory, Suns superstar Devin Booker had nothing but praise for Damion Lee. In his post-game message, Booker could not help but tip his hat to the Golden State Warriors after seeing Lee step up in the clutch (via <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1582965658307870720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1582965658307870720%7Ctwgr%5Eadd77b6298b6ad2cfb4d92901086de3bdb378387%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Fnba">NBA</a> on Twitter):</p><blockquote>“That’s big time,” Booker said. “First game in, he steps right in.

Lee was part of Golden State’s 2022 title run, and this man clearly has a deep appreciation for a winning culture. Booker could not be more delighted as he praised Lee for his heroics in their first game of the season.</p><p>It wasn’t just the game-winner, too. Lee came off the bench for the Suns, scoring 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard also logged two rebounds, two assists, and zero turnovers in what turned out to be a very memorable Suns debut.</p><p>For his part, Warriors superstar Stephen Curry went <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-goes-crazy-wakes-up-kids-after-damion-lee-game-winner-sinks-mavs/" rel="noopener">absolutely nuts</a> after seeing his former teammate’s game-winner.

It has especially hurt the team on the offensive end of the court.</p><p>During those three losses, the Warriors have scored 86, 82 and 96 points respectively. One player Golden State is hoping can step up and help out is Damion Lee.

He has averaged a little over eight points per game, to go along with four boards in just under 21 minutes per game.</p><p>Lee has shown flashes this season, but has mostly underwhelmed for the Warriors. He is in the middle of his 4th season with Golden State. During 2019-2020, he averaged a career-high 29 minutes per game. That translated to almost 13 points per game, but his production has dipped ever since. His playing time has therefore suffered as well.</p><p>Both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are currently listed as day to day. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-gets-honest-on-sitting-out-stephen-curry-against-pelicans/" rel="noopener">Curry suffered what is reported to be a quad contusion</a> in Wednesday night’s loss to the Mavericks. Meanwhile, Green is dealing with a left hip injury. Both players are questionable to play Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.</p><p>The recent skid has seen Golden State drop a game below the Phoenix Suns for the top spot in the Western Conference.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
