Suns Pick Up Ryan Dunn’s 2026/27 Option

The Suns have exercised their 2026/27 rookie scale team option for forward Ryan Dunn, Spotrac contributor Keith Smith tweets.

Phoenix had until the end of the month to decide whether to pick up Dunn’s $2,784,240 salary for next season.

Dunn, the 28th pick of the 2024 draft, had a solid rookie season. He appeared in 74 games, including 44 starts, and averaged 6.9 points and 3.6 rebounds while shooting 43.0% from the field. His long-range and free throw shooting need to improve, but he has established himself as a hard-nosed defender.

He’ll likely battle veteran Royce O’Neale for a starting spot in this year’s lineup.

All of the 2026/27 rookie scale option decisions, which must be finalized by October 31, can be found right here.
