Suns Sign Collin Gillespie To Two-Way Contract

PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns today announced that the team has signed guard Collin Gillespie to a two-way contract.

Gillespie (6’-1”, 195 pounds) made his NBA debut with the Denver Nuggets last season, appearing in 24 games and averaging 3.6 points in 9.4 minutes. He also appeared in 12 games with the Grand Rapids Gold of the NBA G League last season, nearly averaging a triple-double with 20.4 points, 10.8 assists and 9.3 rebounds per game while shooting 44.8% from the field, 36.2% from three-point range and 82.8% from the free throw line. Gillespie was on a two-way contract with the Nuggets for the duration of the 2022-23 season and a member of Denver’s 2023 NBA Championship team, though he did not appear in a game as he recovered from a lower left leg fracture.

The 25-year-old Gillespie went undrafted in 2022 following five standout seasons at Villanova University. He twice earned Big East Player of the Year honors, helped the Wildcats to an NCAA Championship in 2018 and won the 2022 Bob Cousy Award given to the best point guard in the country.
