Samuel Hoiberg is now on the Phoenix Suns roster, confirmed by the club's official roster as of Tuesday, Sep 22. The 23-year-old rookie had no prior roster spot, and no report logged the move in advance.
The move
Samuel Hoiberg joins the Phoenix Suns from free agency, having held no roster spot before. The move was picked up from the club's official roster on Tuesday, Sep 22. Hoiberg is 23 years old and enters as a rookie. No report preceded the transaction, so there is no outside source or confidence level to attach to it. The roster itself is the record of the move for now.
The money
Hoiberg's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Suns carry $216.2 million across 18 contracts for 2026-27, which puts them over the first apron. The salary cap is set at $165.0 million, the luxury tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million, and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Hoiberg has no NBA line from last season. The Suns' rotation last season was led by Devin Booker (33.5 minutes, 26.1 points), Dillon Brooks (30.4 minutes, 20.2 points), Grayson Allen (28.8 minutes, 16.5 points), Collin Gillespie (28.5 minutes, 12.7 points), Royce O'Neale (28.4 minutes, 9.8 points), Jalen Green (25.9 minutes, 17.8 points), Mark Williams (23.6 minutes, 11.7 points) and Jordan Goodwin (22.5 minutes, 8.7 points). The roster now stands at 21 players, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
