Suns agree to two-year deal with center Damian Jones

The Suns have agreed to a deal with free-agent center Damian Jones, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The agreement will be a two-year deal.

Jones, 25, spent last season with the Hawks and was acquired in July 2018 from Golden State. He spent the first three seasons of his career with the Warriors, having been drafted by the team at No. 30 in 2016.

Jones played 55 games with Atlanta last season, averaging 5.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 16.1 minutes per contest. He’s expected to provide depth behind starting center Deandre Ayton in the frontcourt, with Phoenix seeking their first playoff berth since the 2009-10 season.

Over the past week, the Suns also traded for Chris Paul (in a deal that sent out Kelly Oubre Jr. and Ricky Rubio), agreed to sign Jae Crowder, and reached a deal to bring back Jevon Carter.
