The Phoenix Suns will bring back forward Royce O'Neale on a four-year, $44-million contract, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The deal has no options and is fully guaranteed, according to Zach Lowe of ESPN.
O'Neale averaged 8.1 points and 5.2 rebounds while shooting 37.6% from deep after being acquired from the Brooklyn Nets at the trade deadline. He provides Phoenix with a versatile perimeter defender who can play next to its Big Three of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker.
That trio will be paid approximately $150 million next season.
Phoenix recently acquired Marquette's Oso Ighodaro and Virginia defensive stopper Ryan Dunn in the 2024 NBA Draft.
