Top Royce O'Neale News

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Retreats to bench Tuesday vs. LAL

    O'Neale will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    With Kevin Durant (calf) returning from a seven-game absence, O'Neale will slide to the bench. The 31-year-old forward has averaged 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in his last five outings (two starts). O'Neale will likely still see significant playing time as both Durant and Bradley Beal (calf) will operate under a minutes restriction.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Solid in return to first unit

    O'Neale registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 loss to New York.

    The Suns have experimented with the four frequently during Kevin Durant's (calf) absence, and they opted for O'Neale for the second time Wednesday. O'Neale's performances have rarely been consequential, as he's recorded a double-digit total only twice this season. The Suns will likely mix and match players often at the position, making O'Neale an unreliable fantasy option.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Slides into starting five

    O'Neale is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

    O'Neale will make his second start of the season, filling in alongside Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Ryan Dunn and Jusuf Nurkic. In his only other start, O'Neale logged five points on 2-of-12 shooting with five rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Back to bench Friday

    O'Neale is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder.

    O'Neale struggled in the loss to the Kings on Wednesday and will head to the bench as a result, with Josh Okogie entering the starting lineup. O'Neale is averaging 10.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game when playing off the bench in 2024-25.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Struggles in starting role

    O'Neale ended with five points (2-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 loss to the Kings.

    The Suns are struggling to account for Kevin Durant's (calf) absence. O'Neale and Ryan Dunn have both been ineffective in making up for the lost production, and the team has lost two of their last three games without Durant in the lineup. O'Neale has broken the double-digit scoring threshold only four times over the first 12 games of the season.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Moves into starting lineup

    O'Neale will start in place of Bradley Beal (calf) on Wednesday versus Sacramento.

    O'Neale profiles is an integral part of Phoenix's rotation with Beal and Grayson Allen (ankle) unavailable Wednesday. O'Neale is averaging 12.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in five contests this season in which he's logged over 25 minutes of action, although he has failed to exceed eight points on three of those occasions.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Struggles with shot in loss

    O'Neale chipped in eight points (3-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to the Kings.

    With Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) leaving the contest early, O'Neale had the green light and attempted a season-high 14 shots. The veteran made multiple three-pointers for the sixth time over his last seven appearances, but overall, it was a rough shooting night, especially after he scored 18 points on 7-for-8 shooting from the field in Dallas on Friday. O'Neale's production tends to be inconsistent, but he's in line for increased usage until Durant returns.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Wakes up with 21 points

    O'Neale logged 21 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 win over the Clippers.

    O'Neale's production shot up significantly, and it's too soon to say if the spike is an outlier or a sign of future success. The deck is stacked against him due to a packed depth chart, but if he can come close to 30 minutes on a nightly basis, he may be able to generate productive lines that will exceed previous expectations.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Scores 12 points, grabs nine boards

    O'Neale chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Monday's 109-105 victory over the Lakers.

    O'Neale is not known for being a player who will stand out due to his scoring ability, but he made a couple of key shots in the fourth quarter to ice the game for good. O'Neale is not expected to play a prominent role on offense for the Suns, however, and as good as this line was from a fantasy perspective, he's not expected to be a major contributor on offense regularly, particularly since he will continue to come off the bench regularly.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Heads back to bench Thursday

    O'Neale is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers.

    The Suns are rolling out their expected starters for the preseason finale, meaning O'Neale will revert to a reserve role. That said, he's expected to see consistent minutes off the bench once the regular season begins as a wing player capable of defending multiple positions.

  • Suns' Royce O'Neale: Starting Sunday

    O'Neale will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    O'Neale will enter the starting lineup due to all of Phoenix's usual starters getting the night off. O'Neale will likely be a rotational piece for the Suns come the regular season.
