The Phoenix Suns opened their preseason slate of games last night in Palm Desert, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers by a final score of 118-114. It’s like I’ve said...just because the games don’t count doesn’t mean they don’t matter. It mattered for one person, in particular, Suns’ guard Damion Lee.
It had been 514 days since Damion Lee stepped foot on an NBA basketball in full uniform with intent to play. The sharpshooting Lee was a force during the 2022-23 season, knocking down 44.5% of his three-pointers in his inaugural campaign in Phoenix.
