The Phoenix Suns are in search of depth to add to the roster, and some familiar names are being brought in for workouts to week.

NBA on TNT's Chris Haynes is reporting that Jabari Parker and Stanley Johnson will be working out for the Suns on Wednesday.

Chasson Randle and Quinndary Weatherspoon are also going to be invited, according to Haynes.

Parker, the most notable name on that list, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. Parker tore his ACL twice in his first three seasons (both in the same knee), derailing his career before it ever truly got started.

Parker has also spent time with the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics. In his career, he's averaged 14 points and 5.5 rebounds per night on 49.4% shooting.

Johnson was the No. 8 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons but has mostly spent time in the G League since 2021. He was part of the Los Angeles Lakers trade that landed them Patrick Beverley.

Randle went undrafted in the 2015 NBA Draft and has bounced between the NBA, NBA G League, EuroLeague, CBA and others. He has won championships in the G League (2021), EuroLeague (2018), Spain's Liga ACB (2018) and Czech Republic's NBL (2016).

Randle, who has logged 119 games in he NBA but none since the 2020-21 season, recently signed with a team in Puerto Rico.

Weatherspoon was a second-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs and has mostly bounced up and down from the NBA/G League, though he did recently played in the CBA after winning the 2022 NBA Finals with the Golden State Warriors.

Weatherspoon has played in 42 NBA games.
