Duop Reath is listed as day-to-day with a right foot and leg injury on the Friday, Sept. 25 injury report, with no previous status shown for him. The update comes after he agreed to a one-year veteran minimum contract with the Suns on Wednesday, leaving his availability for Phoenix's season opener unclear.
What happened
Reath is day-to-day with a right foot and leg injury, according to the Friday, Sept. 25, 10:50 PM ET injury report, which lists no previous status for him. The center agreed to a one-year veteran minimum contract with the Suns on Wednesday, and John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reported that Reath was dealing with the foot injury when he signed. The team's expected return date for him is Oct. 1.
What it means for the Suns
Phoenix opens the season at the Pistons on Monday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. ET, with the team at 0-0 since the 2026-27 season has not started. Last season Reath averaged 8.1 minutes, 2.9 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.3 assists across 32 games, making him a depth option at center. Mark Williams, also a center, is out with a left shoulder and arm injury, thinning Phoenix's frontcourt depth. The rotation leans on Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie, Royce O'Neale, Jalen Green, Williams and Jordan Goodwin for minutes. There is no record with or without Reath yet, since the regular season has not begun.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Reath's status changes as the Suns approach their opener. His expected return date is Oct. 1, though it is not announced whether he will be ready for the season opener at the Pistons on Oct. 5. CJ Huntley, also day-to-day with a hamstring and leg issue, is another name to track on the injury report as Phoenix finalizes its roster before the season begins.
