The Phoenix Suns have already made a couple of big offseason moves, and they are still searching for key pieces that might be able to help in their pursuit of an NBA title.
Free-agent point guard Darren Collison recently worked out for the Suns and had a “great showing,” according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.

Collison most recently played for the South Bay Lakers, which is the G League affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers. The former first-round pick last played in an NBA game during the 2021-22 season, when he made just three appearances off the bench for the Lakers.
Now 35, Collison seems highly unlikely to make a significant contribution with any team. He is, however, a nearly 40% three-point shooter for his career. That is likely why the Suns are giving him a look.
Phoenix acquired Bradley Beal in a blockbuster trade last week and then signed a former Sixth Man of the Year. The Suns do not have much money to spend, but they will continue to explore creative ways to fill out their bench.
