Collin Gillespie Heads Into 2026-27 Off a Career Season in Phoenix
newsroom · 2 h agoCollin Gillespie returns to the Suns for 2026-27 coming off a full, healthy 2025-26 season in which he played all 80 games. He is not on the injury report. The 27-year-old guard out of Villanova enters the year as a steady backcourt piece for Phoenix.
Who is Collin Gillespie
Collin Gillespie wears No. 12 for the Suns and plays guard. He is 27 years old, stands 6-1 and weighs 195 pounds. He came out of Villanova and enters this season with three years of NBA experience. Gillespie was already on Phoenix's roster last season, so there is no adjustment period tied to a new team. He heads into 2026-27 as a known quantity in the Suns backcourt, a guard who can play alongside the starters or anchor bench minutes.
Last season by the numbers
Gillespie played all 80 games for Phoenix in 2025-26, missing nothing. He averaged 12.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 28.5 minutes per night. He also chipped in 1.2 steals and 0.2 blocks while turning the ball over just 1.6 times a game. That workload put him in the rotation on a nightly basis, and the assist number shows he was trusted to run offense, not just space the floor.
Shooting and efficiency
Gillespie shot 41.8 percent from the field and 40.1 percent from three-point range last season, numbers that mark him as a legitimate floor-spacer. He was excellent at the line too, hitting 87.4 percent of his free throws. His true shooting percentage sat at 57.5, and he posted a usage rate of 18.1 percent, meaning he produced efficiently without needing a heavy share of the offense. His plus-minus was plus-2.5, a positive mark over a full 80-game season.
Health report
Gillespie is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history listed for him, and last season he did not miss a single game, appearing in all 80 contests for Phoenix. That durability is notable given how many minutes he logged per night. Heading into 2026-27, there is nothing on record suggesting any physical concern standing between him and a full season workload again.
What to watch for 2026-27
With last season's full-strength, efficient production and a clean bill of health, Gillespie enters 2026-27 as a reliable piece of the Suns backcourt. His combination of three-point shooting, ball security and playmaking gives Phoenix a steady option regardless of who else is on the floor. There is no rumor or transaction activity tied to him right now, and no current-season results yet to report, so his role this year will be shaped by how the Suns use that shooting and passing package once games begin.
