Team reportedly exercised Bouyea’s option, keeping him under contract as a roster player.
The deal is non‑guaranteed, approximately $2.6 million, meaning Phoenix can waive him without full guarantee.
His roster spot is vulnerable; injuries or strong preseason performances by others could change his standing.
Bouyea offers ball-handling, passing and defensive effort that fit Phoenix’s system.
He faces steep competition in the Suns’ crowded backcourt and must improve 3‑point shooting to expand his role.
Opportunities likely hinge on injuries or rotations during training camp and preseason.
