The Phoenix Suns agreed to sign forward Isaiah Livers on a two-way contract on Tuesday, his agents told ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The signing fills the team’s third and final two-way slot.

According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, Koby Brea, the No. 41 pick in the 2025 draft, has also agreed to a two-way contract. Undrafted rookie CJ Huntley has been announced as the other two-way player.

Livers is coming off a hip injury that kept him from playing last season.

A second-round pick (42nd overall) out of Michigan in 2021, the 6-foot-6, 232-pound wing played in 94 games for the Detroit Pistons across three seasons from 2021-24.

Livers has averaged 6.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game. He’s a 41% shooter overall with 36% accuracy from 3-point range (3.7 attempts per game).

Phoenix’s roster currently stands at 14 players, with a buyout of guard Bradley Beal reportedly imminent.

Livers is a proven player. IMO actually a good signing for their 3rd two-way deal.

I was hoping they'd sign Kevin Kidneys or Jason Spleens, myself.

I've seen him play for Detroit. A couple of years ago, Dwayne Casey gave him as much burn as Wiseman and Bagley Jr. on a bad Pistons team. The following season Monty Williams played him sparingly on a worse Pistons team. He was packaged with Bagley's $12.5 million as a salary dump to Washington. Washington waived him.

As a cheap two-way practice player Phoenix could have done a lot worse.

David Roddy and Kenny Lofton Jr. are both free agents I believe. All three fringe NBA players but they have proven themselves as fringe players. Darius Bazley another one getting some run with the Lakers summer team and just scored 27 points last night. I liked Bazley when he was with Phoenix.
