The Phoenix Suns have signed Ish Wainright to a multi-year contract, the team announced Friday.
According to Shams Charania, it’s a two-year, $2.5 million deal with a team option on the 2023-24 season.
Wainright, who was on a two-way contract and appeared in 42 games for the Suns this season, is averaging career highs of 4.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 15.5 minutes per game. Because of his two-way status, Phoenix had to give Wainright a standard deal or part with him, and fortunately for him, the Suns added Wainright to their 15-man roster.
He has helped Phoenix this season, and he has twice scored in double figures, including a season-high 17 points on Feb. 9 at Atlanta, also recording four rebounds, three steals, two assists, and two blocks in that contest.
The 6-5 forward is in his second NBA season, both with the Suns.
Phoenix initially signed the 28-year-old on Oct. 21, 2021(two-way contract), and he made his NBA debut the following month. Wainright played the previous three seasons internationally for clubs in Germany and France.
