Gillespie rolled his ankle during Friday's 133-118 loss to the Santa Cruz Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie posted five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in two minutes before suffering the injury. Jaden Shackelford stepped up in Gillespie's absence.

Gillespie signed a two-way deal with the Suns on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie missed his entire rookie season with Denver while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured right leg. He returned to action last year, making 24 appearances before being shut down with a left knee sprain. Gillespie is presumably healthy after passing a physical to make this deal official, but he's certainly not guaranteed a rotational role with Phoenix in 2024-25.

The Nuggets are declining to extend Gillespie (knee) a $1.87 million qualifying offer prior to Saturday's deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Along with Gillespie, the Nuggets also opted not to extend a qualifying offer to fellow two-way player Braxton Key, opening up a pair of two-way slots for undrafted rookies Trey Alexander and PJ Hall. Gillespie had served as a two-way player for the Nuggets for each of the past two seasons, though he didn't appear in the NBA or in the G League during his first professional campaign in 2022-23 while he recovered from surgery to repair a fractured right leg. Gillespie proceeded to make 24 appearances for the Nuggets in 2023-24, averaging 3.6 points, 1.1 assists and 0.9 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per contest. He missed the Nuggets' final game of the regular season due to a left knee sprain and then was ineligible for Denver's postseason run because of his status as a two-way player, but the expectation is that Gillespie will be back to full health for the start of NBA training camps in the fall.

Gillespie (knee) is out for Sunday's game versus Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie hasn't appeared in a game since March 31, but he hadn't appeared on the injury report in any of Denver's last six games before he popped up on the report ahead of Sunday's contest with a left knee sprain. The point guard might have sustained the injury in a recent practice, and his absence Sunday means that his season is over; as a two-way player, he's ineligible to compete during the Nuggets' playoff run. Gillespie finished his rookie season with averages of 3.6 points, 1.1 assists and 0.9 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per game over 24 appearances.

Gillespie is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left knee sprain.

EDGE Analysis

This is a new issue for Gillespie, and the severity of it is unknown. Gillespie is not typically in the rotation, however.

Gillespie finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 128-103 victory over Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie played at least 19 minutes for the second straight game, seeing an increased role as the Nuggets begin to navigate their way through the home stretch. He does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, making him a name to watch should we get notice that he is on track to play meaningful minutes once again.

Gillespie (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie was a late addition to the Nuggets' injury report Sunday but will be able to suit up despite his right ankle sprain. However, he's unlikely to see much playing time.

Gillespie is probable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie was added to the Nuggets' injury report a few hours before Sunday's tipoff, but he'll likely be able to suit up despite his ankle injury. However, his status shouldn't significantly impact the rotation.

Gillespie finished with six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 107-104 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie was on the fringes of Denver's rotation over the first six games of the season, as he totaled just seven minutes of playing time over two appearances during that span. However, he's now played double-digit minutes in four consecutive matchups with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, averaging 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.3 minutes per game. While Gillespie's overall impact has still been limited, he's racked up multiple steals on two occasions. Murray will likely miss the rest of the month due to his injury, but Gillespie is unlikely to have much fantasy upside as long as the rest of the team stays relatively healthy.

Gillespie racked up five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 12 minutes during Saturday's 123-101 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie missed the entirety of his rookie season due to a broken leg, but he finally got on the scoreboard in his third appearance of year two. Jamal Murray (hamstring) exited Saturday's game early, but Gillespie is unlikely to rise to fantasy relevance even if Murray misses time.
