Former Suns guard signs with Nes Ziona:

Lee would go undrafted in 2016 and wouldn’t make his NBA debut until March 13th, 2018 with the Atlanta Hawks. After 15 games in A-Town, Lee signed with his brother-in-law Stephen Curry’s team the Golden State Warriors. In four seasons with the Warriors, Lee averaged 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and secured a NBA championship in 2022.

After lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy, Lee signed with the Suns and was a solid bench piece, appearing in 74 games and averaging 8.2 points on 44.5% shooting from the 3-point line. However, a rare meniscus injury to his right knee forced him to miss the entire 2023-2024 season. Even after returning, Lee was never the same player, which lead to Phoenix not re-signing the guard and him heading overseas.
