The Phoenix Suns are converting guard Jamaree Bouyea to a standard two-year contract after a steady stretch in their rotation.
NBA insider Shams Charania reported on March 2 that Phoenix is signing the 26-year-old to a new two-year deal following multiple two-way and 10-day stints across the league.
“After two-ways and 10-day deals with six teams in 3+ years, Bouyea earns a standard contract, averaging 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in rotation role for the Suns,” Charania wrote on X, citing sources.
Bouyea has appeared in 33 games this season, averaging 15.5 minutes per contest while shooting 48.0% from the field.
Phoenix enters Monday at 34-26, seventh in the Western Conference standings, and remains within striking distance of a top-six seed.
Depth has been critical for the Suns, who rely heavily on Devin Booker’s 24.7 points and 6.1 assists per game and Dillon Brooks’ 20.9 scoring average on the wing.
Collin Gillespie has logged 59 games at point guard, averaging 13.5 points and 4.7 assists while shooting 42.3% from three.
Bouyea’s role has come off the bench behind Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, who contributes 8.9 points and 1.5 steals per game.
Phoenix benefits from Bouyea’s ability to pressure the ball and push tempo in second-unit minutes.
His 53.4% effective field goal percentage shows efficiency in limited usage, and his low turnover rate of 0.6 per game supports lineup stability.
Two-way deals limit postseason eligibility, so converting him ensures roster flexibility as the playoff race tightens.
