Suns' E.J. Liddell: Traded to Phoenix
The Hawks are trading Liddell to the Suns in exchange for David Roddy on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
This is the second time Liddell gets traded in less than a month, as he was traded from New Orleans to Atlanta on June 26 as part of the deal that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. Liddell will compete for a depth frontcourt option for the Suns, but his chances of earning a meaningful role are very slim.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Practices for Team USA
Durant (calf) is expected to be a full participant in practice Thursday for the United States national team, Grant Afseth of EssentiallySports.com reports.
After missing all five of the United States' showcase games earlier this month while recovering from the right calf strain, Durant may not be cleared to play in the team's 2024 Summer Olympics opener Sunday versus Serbia, but his return to full practice suggests he should be ready for game action shortly thereafter. After Sunday's contest, the United States will face South Sudan on Wednesday.

Suns' Devin Booker: Shooting woes in victory Monday
Booker tallied three points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes in Team USA's 92-88 exhibition game win over Germany on Monday.
Booker has started two consecutive exhibition games for Team USA; however, he shot only 3-for-11 from the field across that span. The 27-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup due to Kevin Durant's (calf) absence, but if Durant returns in time for the Paris Olympics, Booker could very well be pushed out of the starting five. Booker did have a solid outing against Australia on July 15 coming off the bench, but since then, he has accumulated only 11 points in the past three games.

Durant (calf) will not play in Monday's exhibition against Germany, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reports.
Durant didn't play in any exhibitions for Team USA before the Paris Olympics, but he's trending in the right direction and has ramped up his on-court work at recent practices. He's considered day-to-day and is still planning to play in the Olympics, which begin for Team USA against Serbia on July 28.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Dishes out nine assists
Ighodaro logged four points (2-3 FG), nine assists, five rebounds and a block across 26 minutes of Saturday's 87-77 loss to the Kings in Summer League.
Ighodaro hasn't been lighting up the point column during Summer League, but he's flashed his ability to make winning plays. He's shot 13-for-26 from the field in five Summer League appearances while averaging 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.4 combined steals-plus-blocks per game. The Marquette product could push Mason Plumlee for minutes behind starter Jusuf Nurkic this season.

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Dealing with knee soreness
Dunn won't play in Saturday's game against the Kings due to left knee soreness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Dunn will sit out the Suns' final Summer League game due to pain in his left knee. The injury likely won't impact his training camp availability. The No. 28 overall pick in this year's draft flashed his defensive abilities during Summer League and is considered one of the best defenders in the 2024 rookie class.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Practices Friday
Durant (calf) participated in his first Team USA practice of the summer Friday in London but remains questionable to play in the upcoming exhibition games Saturday and Monday, Shams Charania and Joe Vardon of The Athletic report.
The 35-year-old has been sidelined for Team USA's training camp after he suffered a calf strain in early July, though he's been able to participate in individual drills. Coach Steve Kerr said Durant is still considered day-to-day but would "love for him to play in a game." Assuming Durant can avoid any setbacks, he appears on track to be available for the start of Olympic action.

Suns' David Roddy: Drops 21 points in Summer League
Roddy logged 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists a steal and a block over 28 minutes of Wednesday's 100-99 Summer League win over the Thunder.
Roddy was fouled while attempting a game-winning three-pointer with less than a second left and sunk all three free throws to vault the Suns to victory. Roddy was dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline last season and didn't play more than 10 minutes in a game with the Suns. Similarly, Roddy is expected to be a fringe rotation piece in 2024-25.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Likely to miss exhibition Monday
Durant (calf) is expected to miss Team USA's exhibition game versus Australia on Monday, CBSSports.com reports.
Durant was absent from training camp due to his calf injury, and he also missed the USA's exhibition game against Canada on Wednesday. The USA is set to play in two more exhibition games July 15 against Australia and July 17 against Serbia, which the All-Star is likely to sit out of. The 35-year-old is coming off his healthiest season in the past four years, during which he averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 75 regular-season games. Team USA will hope to have Durant back playing alongside Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Joel Embiid, among others, for the start of the Paris Olympics on July 28 against Serbia.

Suns' Josh Okogie: Re-signs with Phoenix
Okogie signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Suns on Thursday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports.
The second year of the deal is not guaranteed, so the Suns will wait and see what happens this upcoming season before committing to the rest of the deal. Okogie had a reduced role for Phoenix during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.0 minutes across 60 regular-season appearances. He struggled to see minutes in 2023-24 but will aim to carve out a bench role now that Mike Budenholzer will be the head coach.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Expected to play in Paris Olympics
Durant (calf) is expected to play in Team USA's first game of the Paris Olympics against Serbia on July 28 but may not be available for any exhibitions, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Durant has yet to participate in training camp with Team USA due to a minor calf strain he suffered 10 days before the group got together in Las Vegas. The NBA superstar has already been ruled out for Wednesday's exhibition versus Canada, the first matchup between the teams since Canada beat Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup's bronze medal game. The Americans sported a youthful squad for that tournament and are looking for revenge at the Olympics with a star-studded cast, including Durant, Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Joel Embiid. Following Wednesday's matchup, Team USA travels to Abu Dhabi for exhibitions versus Australia on July 15 and Serbia on July 17.
