The Phoenix Suns had a busy Sunday morning reportedly making moves that included signing former Boston Celtics big

man Bol Bol and trading guard Cam Payne.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Bol has agreed on a one-year deal with Phoenix.

Bol played 70 games for the Orlando Magic in 2022-23 before being cut by the team on July 4, averaging 9.1 points, 5.8

rebounds and 1.1 blocks while shooting 54.6% from the field.

Bol was drafted with the No. 44 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat and dealt to the Denver Nuggets the same

day. The 23-year-old never quite got his career off the ground in Denver playing in just 53 games scattered across three

seasons with the Nuggets averaging just over six minutes of playing time.

Bol was traded to Boston from Dever in January 2022 along with PJ Dozier. Bol never saw action for the Celtics while

recovering from right foot surgery before being dealt to the Magic.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Suns traded Payne, along with a future second-round pick and cash to the

San Antonio Spurs for a future second

Suns make series of moves, including signing former Celtics player (report)

The Suns were busy Sunday and continued to add to their draft capital via trade and also signed a player who had a brief

stint with the Celtics.

Phoenix began the day by trading Cam Payne and a future second-round pick to the Spurs in exchange for a future second,

per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Shortly after that, the Suns acquired three second-round picks in a pick swap with the

Magic.

They weren’t done for the day, though, as Bol Bol signed a one-year deal that’s fully guaranteed with the Suns, per Charania.

Bol Bol was waived by the Magic earlier this month after a career year. The big man averaged 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and

1.2 blocks in 70 games (33 starts). He also averaged 21.5 minutes per game.

Bol Bol was briefly with the Celtics when he was traded to Boston in 2022 as part of the Juancho Hernangomez trade. He

was traded a month later to Orlando without ever playing a game for the C’s.

players that will help Phoenix as it rebuilds its roster. And now that the Suns have acquired several draft picks, they’ve put

themselves in good draft position by adding six second-round picks on top of having four first-rounders already.
