The Phoenix Suns are expected to fully guarantee guard Jordan Goodwin\u2019s contract on Wednesday, reports Arizona Sports\u2019\u00a0John Gambadoro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Phoenix claimed Goodwin in July after the Los Angeles Lakers waived him. His contract came with a club option that had $25,000 guaranteed of a total $2.35 million. It was set to become fully guaranteed on Saturday, according to Spotrac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Goodwin is averaging 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists with 1.4 steals in just 21.9 minutes per game. His steal rate of 3.2% is the third-highest in the NBA<\/a>, and his physicality at the point of attack has earned him minutes in a backcourt that\u2019s needed the depth with Devin Booker, Jalen Green and Grayson Allen dealing with injuries already this season.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old\u2019s 37% accuracy on a career-high 4.3 three-point attempts per game represents the offensive improvements he\u2019s made this season. Goodwin hit a career-high eight threes on Sunday<\/a> in a win over the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n

This is Goodwin\u2019s second stint with the Suns.<\/p>\n

He played 40 games with them in the 2023-24 season after joining the team as part of the trade that sent Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards to Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Goodwin was shipped off in a three-team trade as the Suns acquired Royce O\u2019Neale midway through that season. Goodwin landed with the Memphis Grizzlies before joining the Lakers last season.<\/p>\n
