It was reported earlier in the week that Brea was expected to make his preseason debut this weekend, so it looks like the Suns have an eye toward Sunday's meeting with Brooklyn for the rookie second-rounder. Brea is recovering from a thumb sprain, and he could find it difficult to crack Phoenix's Opening Night rotation due to the lack of exhibition reps.

Suns' Koby Brea: Scores 19 in win
Rotowire
Brea finished with 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's Summer League 103-84 win over the Wizards.
Brea was incredibly efficient in his first Summer League game in Las Vegas. The second-round draft pick out of Kentucky was red-hot from beyond the arc, hitting four of his five attempts, which matched the four made threes off the bench by teammate Boogie Ellis.
Brea was selected by the Suns with the No. 41 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The Warriors traded this pick to the Suns, who end up landing Brea. The 6-foot-6 guard is regarded by many as one of the top shooters in the draft class, hitting at a 43.5 percent clip from downtown during his final college season at Kentucky. However, he generally struggles on the defensive end of the court, which could limit his potential at the next level.
