Valley Suns guard TyTy Washington Jr. selected for NBA G League Up Next Game

The game will be similar to this year’s NBA All-Star game. A tournament-style format with four teams drafted by influencer general managers competing until one team is crowned a winner.

Washington Jr. has made his mark in the Valley Suns’ inaugural season, leading the team with 20.5 points and 6.7 assists in the 11 G League’s Tip-Off Tournament games while second in both categories in 11 regular season games.

The 23-year-old has illustrated his raw scoring ability by dropping four 30-point games, while being able to facilitate the offense with four double-doubles this year.

This the Phoenix native’s first year in the Suns’ organization with previous stops in Milwaukee and Houston, where he played for each franchise’s G league teams. Washington Jr. is on a Two-Way contract with the Phoenix Suns and has shined with his minutes in Tempe, earning him a trip to San Francisco.
