Ross plans to join Suns after buyout from Magic, sources say
After Suns owner Mat Ishbia and coach Monty Williams joined the pursuit on Saturday, veteran guard Terrence Ross plans to sign with Phoenix upon finalizing a contract buyout, sources told ESPN.
The Dallas Mavericks had emerged as a frontrunner earlier Saturday, but the Suns made the case to Ross on the opportunity to join Devin Booker and Kevin Durant to bolster the Suns' depleted wing depth on what figures to be a deep playoff run.
Ross, 32, is finalizing a contract buyout with the Orlando Magic, sources said, and can sign upon clearing waivers and becoming a free agent early this week. Ross' 38% three-point shooting and athleticism will be a significant upgrade off the Phoenix bench.
