The Phoenix Suns are fulfilling their obligations, but running into potential trouble.
Phoenix is announcing the signing of second-round pick Toumani Camara. The 6-foot-8 forward from Dayton was selected with the 58th pick overall in June’s draft. He averaged 13.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in college.
However, the move puts the Suns in a bit of a conundrum: They now have 16 players under contract, one more than the 15-man limit.
