Suns Enter 2026-27 Training Camp at 0-0 With Booker Leading and Two Players Day-to-Day

newsroom · 2 h ago

Phoenix sits at 0-0 as the 2026-27 season nears, having lost Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale to the Hornets over the offseason. Devin Booker returns as the top scorer after a 26.1-point season, but CJ Huntley and Mark Williams are both day-to-day with an estimated return of 2026-10-01. The Suns open the regular season 2026-10-21 at Portland after a five-game preseason slate.

Where the Suns Stand

The season hasn't tipped off yet, so Phoenix sits at 0-0 with no seed and no streak to report. Right now the story is the roster, the injury report and the schedule ahead, not results on the floor. The Suns open the 2026-27 regular season on the road, 2026-10-21 at Portland, with 80 games on the schedule and 14 of them on national TV. Before the opener, Phoenix runs a five-game preseason slate against Detroit, Chicago, San Antonio twice and Utah. The most recent form fans have to go on is last season's finish: a 45-37 record. That mark is the baseline heading into training camp, not a current-season result.

Who's In, Who's Out

Phoenix has lost two rotation players since last season: Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale both moved on to the Hornets. The roster left behind is still built around Devin Booker, Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks on the wing, with Miles Bridges and Collin Gillespie holding down regular minutes. Mark Williams and Khaman Maluach give the Suns size at center, while Koa Peat comes in as a rookie forward. Luke Kennard, Jordan Goodwin, Oso Ighodaro and Ryan Dunn round out a deep bench, and Amir Coffey, Haywood Highsmith, Isaiah Livers, Jamaree Bouyea, Koby Brea, CJ Huntley, Rasheer Fleming and Pat Spencer fill out the roster further. It's a group with size, shooting and a clear top scorer, but the on-court results are still ahead of them.

Injury Report

Two players are on the injury report heading into camp. CJ Huntley is day-to-day with a hamstring/leg issue, with an estimated return of 2026-10-01. Mark Williams is also day-to-day, dealing with a left foot/leg problem, and he too has an estimated return of 2026-10-01. Williams was a full-time starter at center last season, averaging 11.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in 60 games, so getting him back on schedule matters for the frontcourt rotation. Huntley is a first-year forward on the roster. Neither issue is long-term as labeled, and both players are targeting the same early-October return window, which lines up with the tail end of the preseason schedule and the run-up to the 2026-10-21 opener at Portland.

Last Season By The Numbers

Phoenix finished 2025-26 at 45-37. The offense ran at a 114.2 offensive rating against a 112.9 defensive rating, a net rating of plus-1.4. The Suns played at a pace of 98.1 possessions, shot an effective field-goal percentage of 53.7 and a true shooting mark of 56.8, and scored 112.6 points per game. That's a team that scored efficiently and leaned positive on net rating without being an outlier in pace. Those are last season's numbers, from the 2025-26 campaign, not anything from the current 2026-27 season, which hasn't started. They're the clearest picture available of how this roster performed together before any offseason changes played out on the floor.

Best Last Season

Devin Booker led the team last season: 26.1 points, 6.0 assists and 3.9 rebounds a game over 64 games, shooting 33.0 percent from three. Miles Bridges played 77 games and averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Dillon Brooks scored 20.2 points a game in 56 games, and Jalen Green added 17.8 points over 32 games. Collin Gillespie was the iron man of the group, appearing in all 80 games with 12.7 points, 4.6 assists and a 40.1 percent clip from three. Mark Williams averaged 11.7 points and 8.0 rebounds in 60 games. Jordan Goodwin, Oso Ighodaro, Luke Kennard and Ryan Dunn rounded out the group, each playing at least 70 games off the bench rotation.

Preseason and the Opener

The preseason schedule has five games: 2026-10-05 at Detroit, 2026-10-07 at Chicago, 2026-10-10 against San Antonio at home, 2026-10-14 back on the road at San Antonio, and 2026-10-16 at home against Utah. That two-game set with the Spurs gives Phoenix a chance to see the same opponent twice before the games count. The regular season opener is 2026-10-21 at Portland, the first of an 80-game schedule that includes 14 national television appearances. With the roster set and the preseason acting as the tune-up, the opener at Portland is the real starting point for judging this group, since nothing before it will show up in the standings.
