6:44pm: The Suns plan to sign forward Paris Bass to a 10-day contract via the hardship exception, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link). Bass has been playing in the G League with the South Bay Lakers.
Bass was productive in 14 games with South Bay, averaging 17.9 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 1.4 APG, and 1.1 SPG in 27.5 MPG. The 26-year-old spent two years in college with Detroit, putting up 18.4 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.4 SPG, and 1.4 BPG in 2015/16 (24 games).
Bass spent the past two seasons with Atleticos de San German in Puerto Rico, per RealGM.
Phoenix currently has four players in the NBA’s health and safety protocols: Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder, Elfrid Payton, and Abdel Nader.
Where is a guy like Kris Dunn in this situation?? Everyone knows that Paris would never get minutes on a team without Covid, whereas Dunn or someone of that quality would get 10 mpg.
where’s andre roberson? he must really be toast.
Remember Roy Merl?
Lol
He can be very helpful but obviously not at the bench
