Suns re-sign 2nd-year pro Koby Brea on 2-way deal

Second-year shooting guard Koby Brea agreed to re-sign with the Phoenix Suns on a two-way contract, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday.

The 41st pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Brea appeared sparingly as a rookie behind a versatile guard group that included Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Royce O’Neale.

Brea played in 12 games and showed off his shooting capabilities, knocking down 12 of 30 attempts (43%) from 3-point range.

In 25 games with the Valley Suns of the G League, Brea averaged 15.0 points on 38% shooting overall and 36% accuracy from deep. He added 4.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in his 33.4 minutes per game.

Brea was on a two-way deal in 2025-26 and was extended a qualifying offer this summer, making him a restricted free agent. He could find more pathways to playing time with shooting specialists Allen and O’Neale shipped out in the Miles Bridges trade.

Brea joins former Golden State Warriors guard Pat Spencer on a two-way contract with a third spot left to fill.
