Jared Butler joins Phoenix in battle for rotation spot
Well, well. It’s been quite the day for the Phoenix Suns, hasn’t it?
They started the morning with just 13 players under contract. Two open spots, two months until tip-off. But as the day unfolded, so did their roster. First came the return of Jordan Goodwin, a familiar face with grit and defensive edge. And now, they’ve added another guard cut from a similar cloth.
Enter Jared Butler.
Free agent guard Jared Butler has agreed to a one-year deal with the Phoenix Suns, Mark Bartelstein and Kieran Piller of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. The 2021 second-rounder averaged 9 points in 17 minutes per game over 60 contests for the 76ers and Wizards last season. pic.twitter.com/5RvcgFmOsG
