Forward CJ Huntley agreed to a new two-way contract with Phoenix on Monday, returning to the organization after being waived earlier in November.
For most of his rookie season, Huntley has been developing in the G League with the Valley Suns, where he focused on improving his game and staying ready for another NBA opportunity.
The player expressed appreciation for the chance to rejoin Phoenix, emphasizing the work he put in during his time in the G League.
“It means a lot. Just been working hard just to be back in this situation,” Huntley said.
“Just put my head down in the (G League), being there for my teammates there, working each and every day. I feel like that helped me get to where I’m at now.”
Huntley spent all five of his collegiate seasons at Appalachian State, and during the 2024/25 campaign he posted averages of 15.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game while shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from three-point range.
