Roddy accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Due to injuries to Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Andre Hunter (knee), Roddy has been able to get some rotation minutes in two straight games. He's been solid for the most part, averaging 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes during that small sample size.

Roddy is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roddy scored 15 points in 33 minutes during Wednesday's exhibition against the Heat, but he struggled with his efficiency. He'll get another chance to showcase his ability Thursday evening in Atlanta's final preseason matchup.

Roddy totaled 15 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 120-111 preseason loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Roddy had his best scoring output of the preseason Wednesday, though he wasn't as efficient as he was over his last two outings. Roddy was traded by the Suns to the Hawks in late July, and the 2022 first-round pick is competing for a depth role in Atlanta's forward rotation. He'll make his final case for a spot on the 2024-25 regular-season roster Thursday against the Thunder.

The Suns are trading Roddy to the Hawks in exchange for E.J. Liddell on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roddy made 65 combined regular-season appearances for the Grizzlies and Suns last year, averaging 6.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.1 minutes. Roddy will likely compete for a depth role in Atlanta's forward rotation.

Roddy logged 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists a steal and a block over 28 minutes of Wednesday's 100-99 Summer League win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Roddy was fouled while attempting a game-winning three-pointer with less than a second left and sunk all three free throws to vault the Suns to victory. Roddy was dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline last season and didn't play more than 10 minutes in a game with the Suns. Similarly, Roddy is expected to be a fringe rotation piece in 2024-25.

Roddy scored two points (1-1 FG) in five minutes during Monday's 117-111 victory over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Roddy has logged double-digit minutes only once across eight appearances since being dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline. The second-year wing failed to make an impact while Eric Gordon (knee) and Josh Okogie (abdomen) are unavailable bodes extremely poorly for his rest-of-season outlook. Memphis moving on from Roddy less than two full campaigns after drafting him in the first round symbolizes his struggle to carve out a niche in the league thus far.

Roddy (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Royce O'Neale is also available to make his debut, and he's more likely to carve out a meaningful role in Phoenix. Roddy made 48 appearances for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers. He shot 40.2 percent from the field and 30.1 percent from beyond the arc, however.

Roddy was traded from the Grizzlies to the Suns on Thursday as part of a three-team trade that sent draft-pick compensation to Memphis and Royce O'Neale to Phoenix, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roddy saw consistent playing time for the Grizzlies for most of the first half of the season, and he saw increased work in recent matchups since Memphis was dealing with multiple injuries. Over 48 appearances this year, he's averaged 8.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game. He'll now move to a playoff contender that has also acquired O'Neale ahead of Thursday's deadline, but Roddy has proven to be capable of providing scoring and rebounding production off the bench when needed.

Roddy isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Roddy will be replaced by Santi Aldama in the starting lineup Tuesday. Roddy is averaging 8.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 23.4 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Roddy racked up 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
With Memphis shorthanded again, Roddy drew his 13th start of the season. The 16 shot attempts were one shy of Roddy's season-high mark, but he struggled to make the most of his opportunity, missing all five of his three-point attempts while committing three turnovers. Roddy's garnered a consistent role since mid-January, but his production tends to wane. Over his last 14 appearances (five starts), Roddy has averaged 10.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27.1 minutes per game.
