Duop Reath Signs With Suns on Vet Minimum, Working Back From Foot Injury
Suns Nightly Desk · 38 min agoDuop Reath is a Phoenix Suns center now, agreeing to a one-year veteran minimum contract that Suns insider John Gambadoro reported on Wednesday. He is dealing with a day-to-day right foot and leg issue with an estimated return date of October 1, so his availability for the start of camp is in question. Phoenix has not played a game yet this season, so his most recent numbers on record are from last year with Portland.
How he landed in Phoenix
Duop Reath is on the Suns roster for 2026-27 after agreeing to a one-year contract at the veteran minimum. John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reported the deal came together on a Wednesday. Reath wears No. 26 in Phoenix and is listed at center, standing 6-9 and 245 pounds. He is 30 years old, out of Louisiana State, and is still tagged as a rookie by experience. Last season he played for Portland, so this is a fresh start with a new franchise and a new coaching staff evaluating what he can offer in the frontcourt rotation.
Injury report
Reath is currently day-to-day with a right foot and leg injury. The estimated return date attached to the issue is October 1, which puts him right at the edge of the preseason window as Phoenix builds its rotation. The same report that covered his contract signing also carried the injury news, tying his physical status directly to his arrival in the building. Until he is cleared, his workload in camp and any preseason minutes remain uncertain. Fans watching the roster take shape should treat his practice reps as the marker to track once he is full clear.
What he did last season
Playing for Portland in 2025-26, Reath appeared in 32 games, averaging 8.1 minutes, 2.9 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. He added 0.3 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.3 blocks a night, with 0.2 turnovers. His shooting was efficient in a limited role: 44.6 percent from the field, 41.8 percent from three-point range and 83.3 percent from the free-throw line, good for a 61.3 true shooting mark. His usage rate sat at 13.0 percent, and his plus-minus was -1.2. That profile is a stretch-five type who can knock down threes off a low-usage, bench-minutes role.
A look at the recent game log
Reath's most recent recorded games came in January of last season. He scored in single digits across the stretch, with an 8-point, 3-rebound outing against Atlanta on January 15 standing out, along with a 5-point, 5-rebound game against the Lakers on January 17. Several games in that log show him logging under 10 minutes, including a 2.2-minute appearance against Utah and stretches under a minute against the Clippers. The pattern reflects a deep-bench big whose playing time swung game to game depending on matchup and rotation needs, which is the kind of role he will be looking to carve out again in Phoenix.
What comes next
Phoenix has not opened its 2026-27 season yet, so there is no game log or record for Reath in a Suns uniform. His path onto the floor starts with clearing the day-to-day foot and leg injury, with the October 1 return estimate as the marker to watch. Once healthy, his minimum-salary deal suggests a depth role behind the frontcourt options already on the roster, built around his ability to space the floor from the five spot. The opener is still ahead, and how he looks once healthy in camp will shape whether he claims regular minutes early in the season.
