Dunn closed with five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3PT, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Pistons.
Dunn moved into the starting lineup, replacing Devin Booker who was given the night off. Although Dunn impressed on the defensive end, he struggled to find his rhythm offensively. At this stage, he is no certainty to make the nightly rotation. Managers can overlook him in all formats, barring dynasty.

Rotowire
Dunn (knee) checked in during the first quarter of Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Dunn missed the Suns' final Summer League game back in July due to left knee soreness, but that didn't impact his availability during training camp. The No. 28 overall pick will lean on his defensive ability to carve a consistent role off the bench for Phoenix in his rookie year.
Dunn won't play in Saturday's game against the Kings due to left knee soreness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Dunn will sit out the Suns' final Summer League game due to pain in his left knee. The injury likely won't impact his training camp availability. The No. 28 overall pick in this year's draft flashed his defensive abilities during Summer League and is considered one of the best defenders in the 2024 rookie class.
Dunn was selected by the Suns with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The sophomore out of Virginia is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the draft. At 6-foot-6 with a wingspan north of 7-foot-1, Dunn can guard multiple positions and is an excellent rim protector for his size. Last season, Dunn posted 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game in 27.5 minutes to go with 8.1 points and 6.9 rebounds. At this stage, Dunn's offensive game is limited, but the Suns won't ask him to do much on that end.
