The move
John Camden, a 24-year-old rookie forward, is no longer listed on the Phoenix Suns roster as of Friday, Sep 25, based on the club's official roster. He had appeared on the Suns roster before the move, and now he is off it. No report preceded the move, and none is logged in the injury report at this time. No destination club is named, and Phoenix has not given a reason for the roster change.
The money
Camden's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and contract length are not available. The Suns carry a payroll of $216.2 million across 18 contracts for 2026-27, over the first apron. The salary cap sits at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million, and the second apron at $221.7 million. Where Camden's number fits into that picture is not yet known.
The fit
Camden has no NBA line from last season. Phoenix's rotation last season was led by Devin Booker at 33.5 minutes and 26.1 points, Dillon Brooks at 30.4 minutes and 20.2 points, Grayson Allen at 28.8 minutes and 16.5 points, Collin Gillespie at 28.5 minutes and 12.7 points, Royce O'Neale at 28.4 minutes and 9.8 points, Jalen Green at 25.9 minutes and 17.8 points, Mark Williams at 23.6 minutes and 11.7 points, and Jordan Goodwin at 22.5 minutes and 8.7 points. The Suns roster stands at 19 players, 15 on standard deals and 3 on two-way contracts.
