Warren came off the bench Sunday and scored a season-high 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 FT) in a loss to the Thunder. He finished the game with five rebounds, two assists, a block and two steals in 29 minutes.

Warren has now scored 17 and 18 points this month, but he continues to be a low-end fantasy option. Prior to Sunday, he had six games with eight or fewer points and the rookie is averaging just 5.5 points per game this season.

Warren scored 17 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with five rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves.

Warren has seen extra minutes over the past two games with Brandan Knight out with a sprained ankle. Warren is worth a short term add in 16+ team leagues. If the Suns fall further out of the playoff race, Warren could see more minutes as the season concludes.

Warren has seen regular playing time since the All-Star break. In Wednesday's game, he scored four points (2-5 FG) to go with two rebounds in 10 minutes off the bench against the Magic.

Prior to the All-Star break, Warren played in 16 games, averaging nine minutes per game. Since the All-Star break, he has played in six of the Suns' eight games, averaging 14 minutes per game off the bench. Warren has demonstrated his value in the D-League, where he's averaged 26.8 points with a 54 field goal percentage. Coach Jeff Hornacek says it's Warren's energy that has earned him more minutes. "We all know he can put the ball in the basket, but what it is with him is he's probably our only guy who cuts," Hornacek said. "Everyone else wants to stand around and wait for a kick out pass."

Warren was recalled from Bakersfield of the NBA's D-League on Saturday, the Arizona Republic reports.

During his recent two-game stint with the Jam, Warren averaged 27.5 points (on 52 percent shooting), nine rebounds, 1.5 assists, one steal, and one block in 38 minutes, including a 40-point outburst Friday. However, the rookie wing will likely ride the bench upon his return to the Suns, as he's played in just 15 of 52 outings this season.

Warren was assigned to Bakersfield of the D-League on Wednesday, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Warren has appeared in seven games for the Jam this season, averaging 26.6 points and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 55 percent from the field.

Warren was assigned to the Suns' D-League affiliate in Bakersfield on Wednesday,Paul Coro reports.

With so many pieces that can be used at the forward position in Phoenix it was an uphill battle for Warren to find any minutes in the rotation. Expect him to develop his game in Bakersfield this year and keep him off your radar, until Phoenix feels he's ready.

Warren was recalled from the D-League on Wednesday, Paul Coro of azcentral.com reports.

The rookie played three games with the Bakersfield Jam and will return to the team in time for Wednesday's matchup with Oklahoma City. In 10 games for the Suns this season, he's averaging 4.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 10.7 minutes.

Warren was assigned to Bakersfield of the D-League on Thursday.

Warren played in nine of the Suns' last 20 games, but he did not play in the last four, so the team decided to send him to Bakersfield so that he could get some minutes.

Warren was recalled from Bakersfield of the D-League on Monday.

Warren will head back to Phoenix after playing in two games with Bakersfield. He has not established a role in the Suns' rotation, so this is probably not the last time he sees D-League action this season.

Warren has been assigned to the Bakersfield Jam of the D-League.

Phoenix assigned both of its first-round picks to Bakersfield on Thursday, as point guard Tyler Ennis will join Warren in the D-League. Warren, the 14th overall selection in June's draft, has logged just one NBA minute through the Suns' first eight games. He was dealing with a thumb injury near the end of the preseason, which certainly diminished his chances of cracking coach Jeff Hornacek's early-season rotation.

Warren (thumb) is active for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Matt Petersen of Suns.com reports.

The rookie fractured his thumb near the end of the preseason and has been listed as "out indefinitely" ever since. While the thumb is heavily taped, Warren could see his first NBA minutes if coach Jeff Hornacek opts to use a smaller lineup, as he alluded he may do. Regardless, it's wise to take a wait-and-see approach with Warren, as his role with the team is yet to truly be defined.

Warren reportedly suffered the injury during Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers. He is likely to miss the rest of the preseason, and perhaps the start of the regular season as well, The Arizona Republic reports.

Warren's teammate Alex Len suffered a similar injury at the beginning of the month and barely returned to the court during Wednesday night's loss to the Clippers. Expect Warren to see a similar timetable, while even needing some time to be at 100 percent.

Warren won't play in Wednesday's preseason contest due to a sprained thumb suffered in Tuesday's game, Paul Coro of AZCentral.com reports.

Warren's injury didn't receive much attention Tuesday evening, but it will prove serious enough to hold him out of an exhibition. Consider the rookie day-to-day for the time being, with his status uncertain for Friday's preseason finale.

Warren has displayed a willingness to take more 3-pointers this preseason. When asked about it by reporters he admitted that this was an are he has focused on developing azcentral reports.

T.J. Warren has shown throughout his college career, as well as in summer league, that he can be highly efficient from midrange and around the basket. By adding range to his game, he is adapting to the modern game by becoming a player that matches up to today's wing players. Additionally, this adds to his fantasy prospects to those looking at him in dynasty leagues, as he is working to add more offensive and defensive stats to his production.

The Phoenix Suns have been impressed with first-round pick T.J. Warren's play.

Warren was named to the All-NBA Summer League Second Team after averaging 17.8 points per game on 54.4 percent shooting from the field. "We'd hoped he'd be able to translate his efficient scoring from college to the NBA and it certainly did look like it did translate," Suns general manager Ryan McDonough said. Even though the Suns are excited about Warren, he'll be coming off the bench to start the season and won't provide much fantasy value.

T.J. Warren, Rudy Gobert, Tim Hardaway Jr., Russ Smith and Jordan McRae were named to the Samsung All-NBA Summer League Second Team.

Warren was one of the more well-rounded scorers in the tournament and was taking great shots all week. He said that he would like to work on his perimeter game a little, but really likes attacking the basket. He figures to be slotted in behind P.J. Tucker and will have to earn his minutes. Although, the Suns did play him at power forward and center at summer league, so that could help him.

T.J. Warren played with four stitches on his face on Tuesday, shooting 12-of-22 from the field for 28 points with 11 boards, one assist and one turnover in 32 minutes.

He is scoring in bunches and is getting almost whatever he wants. Warren will likely get some minutes behind P.J. Tucker, but is unlikely to be a big factor for the Suns off the bat.

T.J. Warren needed four stitches due to an elbow to the face on Sunday.

He wasn't able to build off his 22-point game in the opener. Warren has been a factor in summer league and been able to get to the rim, so he'll likely compete for minutes on the wing.

T.J. Warren looked like a go-to scorer vs. the Warriors on Saturday, making 10-of-17 from the field for 22 points with four rebounds, one steal, one block and one turnover.

He was attacking the basket at will and the Warriors couldn't guard him. Warren fits in very well with the Suns and he's likely to be slotted in as the backup small forward. The NC State product has some nice keeper appeal in several formats, but may need a break to get enough run in his rookie season.
