Free agent guard Duane Washington Jr. has agreed to a two-way contract with the Suns, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Washington, 22, averaged 9.9 points and 1.8 assists in 20.2 minutes for the Pacers as a rookie last season while appearing in 48 games, including seven starts. Washington went undrafted out of Ohio State.

Phoenix has both of its two-way slots open, and Washington adds depth at the point behind Chris Paul and Cameron Payne.

Washington was waived last month as Indiana cleared cap space to give restricted free agent Deandre Ayton an offer sheet that Phoenix matched. Washington played most of last season on a two-way, then received a standard contract. However, his salary for next season was not guaranteed, and he was waived just before it became guaranteed.
