Suns' Ryan Dunn: Logs first double-double of season
Rotowire
Dunn recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Phoenix's 118-96 win over Utah on Friday.
Dunn cracked double-digit points for the first time this season Friday, and he led the Suns with a season-high 11 boards. It was his first double-double of the season after recording three during the 2024-25 campaign. Dunn doesn't provide much of a scoring punch but would continue to see additional opportunities on offense for as long as Jalen Green (hamstring) and Dillon Brooks (groin) are both sidelined.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Nearly double-doubles
Rotowire
Dunn closed Wednesday's 120-116 win over Sacramento with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 25 minutes.
Dunn checked a lot of boxes in this game for fantasy managers. He started this game and showcased his immense defensive potential with three blocks and a steal. He was also a terror on the glass, with five of his rebounds coming on the offensive end. If there was one bit of bad news, it's that Royce O'Neale played more minutes off the bench (29) and had a strong game of his own. Regardless, there's a lot to like about Dunn's outlook going forward.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Dunn (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's exhibition versus the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Dunn is sitting out Phoenix's preseason finale, but he'll be good to go by Opening Night. He may see more minutes falling his way early in the season while Jalen Green recovers from a hamstring injury, so Dunn could be someone to consider with a last-round flier in deep leagues.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Double-doubles Sunday
Rotowire
Dunn produced 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings.
Dunn finished his rookie year with another impactful performance. Even though most of his contributions aren't noticeable on the stat sheet, which limited his fantasy upside considerably throughout the campaign, Dunn was a reliable option for the Suns all season long despite being a rookie. The former Virginia star averaged 6.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks across 19.1 minutes per game in 74 appearances (44 starts) in his first year in the league. Dunn figures to have a long-term role with the Suns, but his defensive impact will rarely be a game-changer from a fantasy perspective.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Plays well in fill-in role
Rotowire
Dunn ended Wednesday's 127-121 win over the Bulls with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal in 29 minutes.
Injuries to Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (foot) have been offset nicely by Dunn, who made his fourth consecutive start. Over the four appearances, Dunn averaged 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 assists. The 2024 first-round pick has managed to eke out 32 starts with the team, but he's yet to score more than 18 points this season. The rookie out of Virginia will take a back seat when Beal and Allen return, but he should be a valuable development player heading into next season.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Another solid outing
Rotowire
Dunn closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 107-96 loss to the Lakers.
Dunn has made two straight starts and totaled 29 points, eight rebounds, four assists, seven steals and two blocks during those contests. The Suns are trending in the wrong direction, which should allow the rookie to carve out a consistent role down the stretch, especially if he continues to produce on both ends of the court.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Four steals against Sacramento
Rotowire
Dunn had 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 122-106 victory over the Kings.
The rookie forward had just three steals total over his prior 23 appearances, but Dunn was busy at both ends of the court Friday as he set a new season high in pilfers while tying his season scoring high. His elevated workload came with Grayson Allen (foot) sidelined and Mason Plumlee getting ejected after only 16 minutes, so Dunn's strong performance may not lead to a bigger role in the Suns' rotation.

Rotowire
Dunn totaled zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 14 minutes in Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Pelicans.
Dunn's hot stretch in January feels like forever ago, as he's gone scoreless in five straight games. The 2025 Rising Stars participant has seen his role and impact with the Suns shrink over the past month. In 10 games in February, the 22-year-old rookie averaged just 1.8 points and 2.6 rebounds in 11.3 minutes per game.

Dunn logged two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and five rebounds across 11 minutes before checking out of the game for good with 11:29 remaining in the final quarter.
